and then it was December,
the quinces are all picked, admired and eaten
and the quince trees prepare for slumber.....

The last few leaves are clinging on
Quince minor, who, let's face is quite frankly a bit blighty and somewhat disappointing, has a few grotty looking leaves left
Quince major, shows her maturity and celebrates her now proven fruitfulness by holding her last leaf with poise and decorum
The quince trees delight as ever, by holding on their leaves the longest
and usually being in the first few trees to leaf up again
Goodnight Quince Trees, may your sleep be safe from frost damage,
and here's to 2019
with thanks as ever to Squirrelbasket for hosting this forest of followed trees
Or as Hamlet would say:
ReplyDeleteGood night, sweet quince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Even your quince's dead leaves are pretty...
Farewell until next year - it's been a blast :)
What a nice tribute! May we all make it safely through the Winter
ReplyDeleteStill rooting for Quince Minor! :)
