Frosty Morning Iris

If you look across the street you’ll see the frost on the grass. The magnificent Iris are still blooming. Yes, this morning the temperature hovering at freezing.

Morning Frost

Frost causes lethal damage to crops, fruits and plants. You know how aggravating it is-scraping it off a car window. Florida friends were getting all their orchids and plants inside recently as there was frost. In fact their situation was more intense than frost with unexpected below freezing temps. I think it was ICE!

It’s interesting how frost forms and the crystals are beautiful, too. I learned there are four types and if you want to learn all about frost click on this article from the National Geographic.

This early morning I noticed how the frost looked on different objects.

I used to read a book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg to the kids titled….

Winter Morning Sun and Edge of Frost

I’m helping out with the grandkids this weekend.

At breakfast, I looked out the kitchen window and saw rays of sun.

Threw a coat over my pajamas, added my hat, laced up my boots, got my camera, and tried to capture some winter sun.

Worried about that groundhog seeing his shadow on Groundhog’s Day.
