FROST!

The season’s first frost in the form of thick and icy embroidery sparkles the edge of these berry bush leaves Monday morning October 29th while the rising sun amplifies the seasonal colors of the foilage.

Overnight temperatures were likely below freezing far and long enough to signal the end of our growing season.

I did a little research so I could explain the phenomenon of frost and ran into words and phrases like—deposition point, spicules, specific heat, thermal emissivity, absorptivity and superincumbent air.

As I pondered composing this stuff into readable material for the blog my head began to hurt.

I was driven to the more practical side of the event.

I concluded, while frost means a respite from the chore of mowing it is usually a very short vacation between stowing the lawn mower and first needing the snow shovel.

Yuk.
