The first frost

A glistening, sugar frosted world awaited me outside the door this morning. Even my messy, neglected garden was transformed into something rather beautiful and even festive.

My dog took one look and decided this was an exciting world where fun was to be had and so ran around knocking things over and giving his high pitched little "Chase me! Chase me!" bark. Of course it must be admitted that this is his typical reaction to everything from the sun, snow, rain, a gust of wind, a loud noise, silence - indeed everything except vegetables.....unless they are of a comedic shape and you advance towards him brandishing them...erm, maybe that was a little too much information.
