Autumn skywatch

A dull, damp morning for Skywatch Friday. The temperature has dropped, there is no wind and dozens of small birds are flitting about the garden feasting on seed heads and berries.

The leaf mould and compost from last year has been tipped onto the veg plot.

Now the business begins of collecting this year's leaves as they fall 

and putting all this

into this!

The kittens from next door are large enough to explore outside and their adventure playground is our garden. But they are still small enough to come to grief down the well or in one of the water butts (Buttons has already fallen into the pond) so we've covered them all with wire netting. It's rather like having visiting toddlers!

Everything is going over.

There are still flowers

and colour

but it's a rather raggedy affair!
