Too much brown ground

They have ploughed a couple of the fields that I drive past on my journey into work, so the countryside has taken on even more of a Wintry look.
I’m trying to lift my mood by telling myself that we’re going to have an exceptionally hot September, and an October that feels more like Summer than Autumn. I don’t think its beyond the realms of possibility. Recent times have seen some very mild months at the end of the year. In fact, I might even go so far as to say (and I think I probably have at least once in the past) that our Seasons have been shifted so far out of whack that they’re now unrecognisable from the way they were when I was young. Bonfire Night now seems to take place in late Summer, Christmas is far more likely to have bright days that snow, and when we change the clocks in March, we still have 3 more months of cold weather to face, whereas in my youth it signalled the start of Spring.
Stupid climate.
