Finally a first frost

Finally a first frost early this morning on the First of December. 31.7 F (-0.1666 C) was just enough to garnish exposed parts of the garden with tiny crystals of ice. But even ‘Gartenmeister Bonstedt’ has laughed off the half-hearted brush of Jack’s lips across his cheeks in the waxing dawn.

Winter is still to come. Pages off the calendar are great for meteorologists and their statistics but I’ll follow the Heavens for its first day.
