Autumn leaves

We're approaching 
the middle of Autumn,  
And the trees 
are still covered in leaves. 
I'm starting to believe
in global warming. 
For in London 
it's still seventy degrees.

Agreed. Global warming is real, but I'm unfamiliar with London weather. I've read about London in books and seen it in movies so many times, but I've never been there. I'm in Southern California, near the beach, so it doesn't get too hot for me here - the only worry is flooding in my neighborhood.

Hi Rose, the sun has made an appearance today, the forecast looks good for the next few days, it's nothing like the autumn's of old.

Dear John, good to know what the weather is like in London right now. Weather seems a bit strange lately. We dont get autumn here in the maldives. But its a pleasure reading your thoughts expressed so seamlessly, sending you light always

Hi Ink, thank you for your visit and comment, in London we seem to get 4 seasons all in one day, the weather is so so unpredictable.

The trees have not shedded their leaves here either, over a hundred miles above. Trees are still bright and spectacular, awaiting the autumn’s gusts… Sis Beryl

Hello John Read, it is warm here today and warm yesterday. The leaves are changing colour slowly. Yet falling slowly to the ground. I have no idea what our Canadian winter will be like. Enjoy your evening my friend. /Darlene/

Hi Darlene, it's been very warm in London today, it seems the seasons are all mixed up, we never get winter's like we used to have years ago.
