Walking through Glasgow yesterday, my eye was drawn to a few window boxes. Dashes of scarlet red and vibrant yellow were glowing in the early morning sun, people were walking about in short sleeves, sunglasses hiding their eyes.
As I walked on, a burnt orange leaf helter skeltered towards the ground then, as the chilled breeze picked up, more and more leaves fell to the ground. So summer is over, and autumn is already knocking on the door.
But, is it just me or do the seasons seem to be overlapping more and more?
Flowers are still in bloom whilst the trees take on their autumn rust.
The only reason I ask is that autumn is my favourite season, especially these days as we no longer really get a summer, so I’m always on the lookout for that change in the seasons.
Which means this weird merging of the seasons is really throwing me out of whack. Is it still summer? Or is it autumn? How do I know?
