Frosty

We're getting intense overnight frosts now. Today the dogs' water bowls on the back porch are topped with solid ice. These mornings are very chilly indeed, as I discover when I head outside in my blue fleece robe, camera in hand.

But the frost decorates the landscape beautifully, and it's worth a few minutes of shivering to capture it!







Thanks for the kind sympathy about Roland. After briefly lying in state--his shroud was a brilliantly red maple leaf--private burial was held yesterday, presided over by me, with the dogs as principal mourners. Very dignified, and moving.
