In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

I never thought I’d EVER look forward to mud, but this year may just be the exception. 🙂 Can’t wait to see some of those spring blooms here.
