Autumn


Very soon winter will be here. I always feel a bit apprehensive at this time of year, going into the cold and dark wintertime. Will it treat me well this year? Will it be harsh or mild?
The last winters have been extremely mild, with + temperatures and the frost not going under 10°C. But this summer was cold in Iceland, unlike last years that was so good (when my photo in the sidebar was taken!); and I have not been able to go abroad to get some warmth into my body. Maybe I will be able to go somewhere in the new year. Believe it or not -
I have started thinking about Christmas. I often do in September and then that sort of wears off as all the advertising and goings-on surrounding it starts!

...but with darkness
and clear skies
we start lookin out
for the Northern Lights!

The Northern Lights is something I would love to see some day. They look beautiful.

Thank you Greta, I thought you might like it. I was inspired by your harsh Icelandic winters.
