This is growing in between two rocks of a low stone retaining wall.
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.

I though that blue plant was flax (linum?) at first, but I see it is veronica. Neither are great plants for me. It’s very pretty!
I do also have Linum perenne (blue flax), growing nearby, in fact. But it is a much larger flower (somewhere between a nickel and a dime; the veronica tops out at the size of a pea) and the flowers fade by noon, so I often forget to take pictures of it.
