9.17.2012 Frost?

As the day cooled and turned into night....


 The threat of frost - got us busy.   The small pumpkin
patch was covered with sheets.... and with a watchful
eye by Zoey.... the darkness fell


I had to capture the beauty of the mum plants - they
really just became vibrant and have added some 
much needed color to the garden...



and the "lemon queen perennial sunflower" which
really just shot up and showed what it could do... I had
to get some pictures just in case this was the hard frost
that would do everything green in.


Night came and went - we had 30 degrees on Wednesday
morning.... some frost but other than some of the leafy 
green plants everything looked fine.



Afternoon warmth found Zoey napping... with the
ghostly covered pumpkins forgotten...

It is really getting to be fall, isn't it? Seems early for frost, but maybe that's because we've had so much excessive heat and dryness here. Liked the photos. - Karen
