Frost Warning...

To cover
or
not to cover...
that is the question
of the evening.

The weatherman is calling
for frost warning
tonight.

Will our growing season
come to an end
tonight?

The farmers are hoping not,
they would like a few more days
of warm & sunny weather
for
the corn & bean crops.

So,
with frost in the forecast,
I took a walk along the lake
and snapped a few pics
of our cities
flower gardens...

they have been extremely
beautiful this year...

I've enjoyed them
and am not quite
ready to see
them go...

Pretty shades of pinks, reds,
yellows, purples & oranges...

a candy-striped carpet
of posies,
if you will.
(How many of you had candy-stripe carpet in your home growing up? I might be dating myself here a bit... We had it in our family room and I thought it was the grooviest thing ever!)

But to all things there is a season...

The boys of summer
have put away their playing gloves,
jack frost is knocking upon our door,
&
Autumn is quickly approaching.

Autumn
the second summer,
when every leaf
becomes a flower.

We must have one to have the other.

Have a good evening,
