Autumn is seen as a woman working with the sun to ripen the fruit. She ripens grapes, apples and nuts. She makes the flowers bloom so the bees fill their hives with honey. Autumn has a 'hook' (or sickle) for harvesting the crops and falls asleep during the harvesting. She watches the cider being pressed from apples. She has her own music like the spring. Gnats wail, lambs bleat, crickets sing, robins whistle. The swallows twitter as they prepare to fly south and escape the winter. https://339efcb25eb75e967b0d-ff8eeadd950d51fd1fc939dca75b3973.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/assets_green.swf
