Look what I got for frost on the pepper patch!
Thanks to an abundant planting, careful tending, and a heavy frost, my son’s pepper patch yielded all these beauties, for the last pickin’. So glad to get them, as our pepper plants did poorly this year.
Thanks, J&J! And thanks to the kiddos of theirs who picked them. 🙂
Ever seen the sunlight shining through snow? Backlit snow? Glowing?
Look here:
As the weak winter sun begins its morning round, the snow softens, the webwork sags and becomes visible and then backlit.
Rare. A little like a church-goer who really knows the Christ.
Now look at this beauty:
Amazing how a just a bit of frost on the black and the white lace can make all things different. A little like . . .
I am not sure what this phenomenon is called, but it is winter weather and it is beautiful.
The nearest I can describe it is that a heavy frost was forming on a breezy morning and the results were that the frost formed only on the sides of slender things, such as twigs and wires.
Except that actually, it was a sort of foggy morning, so perhaps the fog was freezing on the sides of things, in gorgeous crystals that extended like pennants from twigs. I don’t know.
Some of you northerners help me out, here.
Anyway, I have a photo; it happened.
Then when the breeze picked up enough to sway branches, the frost began falling off, tinkling like the tiniest bells, falling over the ground in glittery shards in the sunlight.
It was a most awesome morning.
I’ll never forget it.
Home's Cool!
