Autumn Royal

I'm quite sure that autumn is in the air.
Pumpkins now look almost ready to reap.
Beside my fire I must pull up a chair.
Amber my daughter too brings up her seat.
We savour the smell of cinnamon buns.
In total we had enough dough for six.
Ginger was also added to the mix.

After, before the sun sets crimson red.
We both will meander the woodland trails.
Perhaps take out bicycles from the shed.
Wonder of autumn beauty never fails.
Umber and red leaves falling from tall trees.
Safron is Amber's favourite colour.
I myself admit to any number.

Hi Andrea. The change of season has me sitting here dosed with a head cold. I hear a local farmer said we shall have an Indian October. Yummy!

Thank you Jan. For you the door is always open. I did toy with the name Amber for Edna when I first glimpsed her red hair. But I was determined to call her after my mother, just as she had called me after hers.

Thank you Craig. The photo had gone AWOL now. Perhaps they have gone to get a brolly?
