First Frost

Well, it wasn't a typical first frost with a sugary coating on the grass in the morning.  It snowed.  Actually it rained here all yesterday and it snowed slushy heavy snow just a few miles away.

This morning everything was coated in ice.  The deck was very slippery and when I went to check the rain gauge outside, it had frozen solid, with 3/4 of an inch of solid ice in the tube, and I broke the plastic connection trying to empty it out.

back in August
The coleus at the back of the Birch Garden was a slimy black mess, so I took it all out today.  I wanted to do more outside, but the ground was so COLD and it wasn't all that pleasant out despite nice sunshine.
