Frosty October Morning


You have to get outside early to catch the beauty of the first hard frost.  With a starry sky and night temperatures in the twenties, everything looks crusted with white.


This sedum close to the house, near the stored heat of a stone wall got just a touch of frost.


The taller hens and chicks  got a little bit more.


In the garden frosted flowers have cold lacy edges.



They look so perfect.  It's hard to think that some of them have received a deadly chill.


Red blueberry leaves  look nice with their frosted edges.


Ed braved the cold to get these great pictures.  There so many lacy crystals on this plant that I can't tell what it is.


Even the stones got touched by the frost.  It all looks so beautiful, but when the sun comes up death will visit the garden.
