Fall into Autumn

Another Mullingar autumn has come, the trees stand coated with so many colours. The front path is strewn with acorns as if by divine artistic hand. Our resident ducks waddle from acorn to acorn, gobbling at them, crushing them in their bills. The days are waning, the heat of summer making way for a new chill wind. We enjoy the fresh cool air, the shorter evenings and the log fires as we settle in for the evening and let hibernation begin.
