I suppose that with several nights dipping down into the low 20's, the fantasy of fall gently flowing on until spring this year must be abandoned. Father time finally let little jack frost outside to play.
The frost is kind of pretty and it's sure nice to see the sun again. (O.K. I'm clinging to anything even closely resembling enjoyment of the cold.)
How beautiful to have the sun illuminate Jack's intricate stitchery of frost on leaves. (I'm not buying it either.)
For those of you in California, Arizona, etc. experiencing near-record cold temperatures, my thoughts are with you especially if you're trying to save your crops!
I hope you're keeping warm!
Heavy sigh. I was hoping that the musa basjoos might just escape heavy frost this year but my delusion is clearly over! This is the longest that they have remained green. Oh well, it was a good run and if we don't get temperatures below 19 degrees F, their pseudostems will maintain their height.
Happy cold Monday all!
