I took the dog to the park this morning and we were met with a field of frost. Sad times for all the flowering plants that have been hanging on past their prime. It was also a sad time for my toes because I can't bring myself to wear the comically large arctic expedition boots that charrow bought herself to combat poor circulation in her feet. Winter makes me whiny. Just wait until it snows! I will have to rename the blog to gripes & snipes. For now I leave you with this slightly more optimistic combination of words:
the begonias have
flopped, crab apples hang shriveled,
but the birds still sing

Love the top photo! Very nice.
I think Olga could sympathize with Red -- I make her endure a few dozen photos on every long walk, too.
