I discovered Garden Humour tonight while looking for the lyrics to “I’m a Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch” (long story). I haven’t gotten past the home page, but it looks like the place to go for comic relief.

In the end, this may be the most important thing about frost: Frost slows us down. In spring, it tempers our eagerness. In fall, it brings closure and rest. In our gotta-go world–where every nanosecond seems to count–slowness can be a great gift. So rather than see Jack Frost as an adversary, you could choose to greet him as a friend.
