With autumn just around the corner

This side of the planet is preparing for autumn. Today I was walking around the garden, just looking everything... and I noticed a few plants that are already preparing themselves for the incoming autumn.
I felt a little nostalgy, I enjoy outdoor living a lot. 

In winter, we tend to stay indoors, right? I must confess that a few sunny mornings and afternoons I took a blanket and went outside for some quality reading.

And you? what season do you prefer? My preference: spring, no doubts.

I guess I am not prepared still to see my garden looking a little bit grey and empty.
But that is what autumn is for, right? it is a transition, a time to rest.
