first frost

Frost glistened on the lawn this morning as I stepped outside to go to work. The morning glory blossoms which expected to greet the sun as their siblings had been doing for weeks were pinched shut. The hollyhock was slumped over the driveway.

I had to scrape the windshield of the truck before I could make my commute. Who says we don't have winter down here in Texas?

As Paul Hogan said in Crocodile Dundee, well, sort of:

That's not a winter! THIS is a winter! ;)

Actually we have none at the moment. It's still bare, brown and autumnlike which is a good thing, given it's still autumn.
