Short Days

The days are so short now that it is hard to fit everything into it. Spotted the sunset as we loaded up with three deliveries around Yorkshire tomorrow.
Lots of demand for Christmas planters and we are running out of Cyclamen so Helen ordered some in from Holland for Wednesday.
Last batch of the Spring Viola have been getting transplanted today.

Mild and Sunny but a cold night forecast.


Days




By Philip Larkin


What are days for?

Days are where we live.

They come, they wake us

Time and time over.

They are to be happy in:

Where can we live but days?


Ah, solving that question

Brings the priest and the doctor

In their long coats

Running over the fields.
