I went out after dinner, last night, and put up frost cloth, for the tomatoes, beans and zucchini. Hugh was up early, lit the fire, and announced “ It’s a frost”,Yes, Jack Frost had unpacked his bags, and was here again.
Most of the photos were taken around 7 a.m. Still cold at minus 0.5 Celsius, not so cold for my friends in the North, but coolish here for October.
Maybe this is the one time when I can imagine I am tall!!
Looking back from the front lawn, not much sunshine at that stage.
This is to the left of the photo above, and across the driveway. A few patches of lawn not icy, under those branches.
A short walk along the street, and down the driveway to Patrick’s place.His ewes have a frosty start for their breakfast.The darker shed is where Fiona has her chooks, and the roof just showing on the far right is Hugh’s workshop.
Quotation of the day, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“The frost performs its secret ministry unhelped by any wind”

The frost looks gorgeous!
Your photos are lovely, Jean, I always enjoy your posts! :)
quite a heavy frost it is!
I love the image of your house and the sheep right down the road, fantastic. Carol
You get your last frost as we get our first, it is always so interesting to read blogs from your part of the world. I love the fonts you use and the design of you blog page, it looks very pretty.
Hope the frost didn't freeze the fruit trees or the veggies. Maybe it will be the last till next year.
Hasn't this weather been so interesting! Pretty impressive frost. Hugs from Leeanne in 'the winterless north'!
No wonder there has been a cold wind here today.
The sun is lovely and warm but the wind bitter.
Frost stopped by here several weeks ago. Nice looking home you have.
What? I hope that frost spared your flowers. It sure is pretty though.
Nice shots. Seems like the first time I have noticed that our weather is just about in tandem.
Your photos are lovely as is the place you call home! I hope you've had a good weekend, and all is well, and you're staying warm too! Really nice for us, and supposed to warm up a little more before colder temps and a time change next weekend.
Beautiful photos Jean! This is much like our early May here!
