10/30/2006: "Frosty Farm Morning"

The weather report warned us this was approaching, but it was still a very pleasant surprise to wake up to a frosty white world. It had frosted about two weeks ago down in the lower pastures and we harvested the winter squash the next day. Today the frost set all of the perennials and bulbs in the upper pastures to rest for the winter. Tonight the weather is calling for temperatures around 23 degrees. We’ll give the ducks extra bedding, snuggle into our own blankets and pull the cats in close.

Here are a few pictures to illustrate the beauty of the frosty morning.

Cobwebs take on such an ethereal aspect when it frosts!


Even the raspberry canes seem to have a magical beauty.


The pastures twinkle with a light silver dusting.


The mighty oaks that dot the property give ample photo ops.


So do the roses! Enjoy them while they last (click on the photo for a gorgeous larger image).


And the apples that are left to pick, will they become sweeter?
