The days are noticeably shorter and there is a chill in the night air in the Northern hemisphere. Some of the trees are beginning to don their Autumn colours as we approach the dark season of the year.
Alban Elfed is the second harvest festival of the year, occurring on the 21st or 22nd of September. The apple and grape harvests are celebrated. Vegetables, fruits and herbs are ready to be picked and preserved for the coming Winter.
A time for giving thanks! And also a time to evaluate the progress made on goals set earlier in the year. Did everything work out as planned? Wishing everyone a fruitful harvest!
For everyone in the Southern hemisphere, the days are getting longer, trees and plants are sprouting new leaves. And it’s time to start sowing seeds, begin new projects and make new plans.
Wishing everyone a Happy Spring!

Lovely rich autumn colours. The harvests are all done here but another few weeks until the grapes, apples and walnuts are ready. 😉

Autumn colors are delayed this year in New England because of all the rain this summer. But the nights are starting to get nippy. I wish September didn’t have to end, but October should be nice as well. 🙂

Equinox, it’s like a short time when the Earth is in balance and a chance to get some balance in your life … though it’s windy here and will try to blow you off balance! Beautiful sunny and warm yesterday, snow forecast for the weekend! I enjoyed post, enjoy the weekend!

What stunning oak art! Here in Montreal our trees are juuuust beginning to redden. The best vistas now are still further north, but we’d have to beg/borrow a car to travel in, since we don’t have one.

It’s always a good time to give thanks. But as far as progress goes on goals, I usually fail miserably. Isn’t that what professional procrastinators are supposed to do?

I actually get a bit melancholy during Autumn. The leaves are falling off the trees; winter is on its blustery cold way; a time for self-accounting. It’s more serious than Spring or Summer. But along comes Halloween to cheer everyone up!

Sometimes I do as well; particularly with the self-accounting. But I love all the bright colours, the blue sky and the cooler weather. 🙂

Spring is definitely happening down here in the Southern hemisphere. Blossoms everywhere, new growth. I like winter, but it’s always so nice to get to the other side of it.

That is a nice twist…combining autumn and spring together, for different sets of people. And an identical tree with different colours for the two seasons. Lovely.
