On this rare, soft November day,
the air is brilliant yellow, flooded
warm by the sun. Ochre, red,
yellow and dun leaves lie scattered
on the intensely green lawn,
tinted gold by sun, blue by shade.
We rake them into large piles and
stuff clumps of them into huge
crackly brown paper bags that
we stack in rows. Later, drawn
by the day, we drive along the
sparkling blue river to the orchard
on the hillside, for a cool jug of
sweet red cider and a bag of
crisp, juicy apples.

"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
