Driveway Gold

It's Autumn in my garden, and the driveway trees are starting to lose their leaves, forming a carpet of gold on the gravel. Early Autumn is a mellow yellow time of year, a time for thinking and planning new things.

In theory I can garden happily and comfortably throughout the autumn and winter months. And Autumn has the advantage that it is almost always windless. There's a peacefulness about the garden, with the days shortening and the leaves changing colour.

Gold First

The golden-leafed autumn trees, like those in the driveway, always change colour and drop their leaves first. Then I know for sure that the seasons are on the move.
