This morning there is frost on all the lawn, apart from the sheltered area under the Chestnut Tree. The leaves shone in the early morning sun, maybe their last photo shoot before they all fall and are gathered up for mulch.
The few poppy plants are still flowering.Deep rich red, closing overnight, and the morning dew lingers on the petals
Look at my colour, in the sunshine, I glow with rich red.
Quotation of the day, a proverb from M A Denham
“ Many hips and haws, many frosts and snaws”

I have never seen a real poppy before. Love the color!
My Grandad raised poppys and my Grandma made delicious poppy-seed-cake. We have wild poppys blooming now in Japan. They are small and orange.
Lovely Colours! Isn't it amazing how the frost shows up the lawn mowing circles.
Cheers
