Mellow Fruitfulness 

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run.
 
 
Nice one Keats, I couldn't have put it better myself.

Our Apple tree has gone mad this year, producing at my estimate about a ton of apples. 


Most of these have rotted away. Aaah, Nature's fecundity!
