Shortening nights are approaching all too fast Warm days of summer are a thing of the past Farmers busy themselves in the field Nature’s bountiful crops now yield Apple trees groan under the strain This abundant harvest must not remain Trees are now dressed with a golden glow Wet days are forecast; bitter winds will blow Jack frost snaps his icy fingers White hoar frost soon gently lingers Light snow falls; winter is now delivering White woolly coats stop sheep from shivering Contest - Seasonal Poetry Contest Sponsor - Shadow Hamilton 17th September 2015

Thanks Andrea:-) the theme is verging on summer to almost winter but saying that we are predicted frost this weekend - as long as we don't get snow ... I don't want to get my thermal vest on just yet lol:-) hugs Jan xx
