I went to the pharmacy last Friday. One of the employees greeted me and asked if I had enjoyed l'été indien (été means summer) that we had experienced in central France in October. It told him I was in the U.S. for much of the month of October, so I'd missed it. The point is, it's rained now for four days in a row, starting Friday. November weather can be depressing.

But there are some pretty scenes despite the rain. The photo above and the photo below are ones I took from our living room windows yesterday, despite a steady drizzle.

Autumn has unfolded very late this year, it seems to me. Look at the photo below, which I took out in the vineyard in October nine years ago. Maybe autumn was just especially early that year. It's hard to remember.

One good thing about having a 12-year old blog is that it lets me go back and review events and conditions in earlier years compared to now.
After a somewhat balmy weather, it turned cold two days ago here in Northern Virginia. Autumn and winter are definitely not my favorite seasons!
ReplyDeleteI love autumn when it's not wet. Unfortunately, in northern France it is nearly always wet and gray. Today has been very wet and windy.
DeleteTwelve years already! Tempus fugit. I love fall on sunny days, I also like that bright red bush and your nicely trimmed hedge.
ReplyDeleteThe gardening service we have do the hedges now do a really good job. And yes... time flies. I started this blog in October 2005. I never imagined it would go so long.
Deletelate here in nc too.....leaf peepers may have missed it
ReplyDeleteI know it was really warm on the N.C. coast back in October. I enjoyed it.
DeleteMy first thought when I saw the first photo was that, despite the wet, you have beautiful views... and, then, that's what you said!
ReplyDeleteNow predictions are for a dry week ahead, but a lot of the leaves were blown off the trees by today's wind. It's up to us to rake them up and move them over the next few days.
