Four days of autumn...

[byslantedlight]

It's still all about the sorting out (and the fretting about my car, which is still immobilised on the driveway, hoping mechanic-bloke can come up with something genius...), and tonight I picked up an old video with no label and because it's been a rainy, melancholy Sunday, I thought I'd put it in to see... and it was Northern Exposure! So now I'm all rainy and melancholy and somewhat dreamy and philosophical (no, I'm sure you can tell the difference...) I'm in the autumn days... so here are the last four of them...





Square sunset! What do you think - a perfect 92 degrees? Maybe 93? A perfect dividing line between the light of yesterday and the darkness of the oncoming night, anyway...


And look at how rainy and melancholy today was...


Chris-in-the-morning had this to say, as the drops hit my windowpane...
Rain usually makes me feel mellow: curl up in a corner time, slow down, smell the furniture. Today... it just makes me feel wet.

And on a brighter note:
It's not the thing you fling, it's the fling itself.

I didn't actually fling much today - but I'm keeping the videotape... *g*

Well, the smaller trees have got their autumn on, and the poorly chestnuts around the church, but the big trees just across from my window are only just beginning to think about turning, so it's something of a mixed bag. We started out with rain this morning to, but although it stayed grey and lowery all day, it stuck to autumn-blusterishess, which I like. And mild! So mild!

The apple does look almost like a pear, but it wasn't - it was definitely an apple tree... Although once I took my head out of the branches trying to get the right angle for this one, I realised that they were all actually at the very end - kind of mildewy and decayed, in fact!

Northern Exposure was on Channel 4 I think - and it was just when I was teaching and cohabiting and so coincided perfectly with needing to crash in front of late night telly before bed. It's a very cool series - philosophical and whimsical and funny and generally very good. Stick it on your one-day-if-I-remember list and you won't go wrong...
