Astonished and shivery...

On Saturday, the snow in my garden beds looked like cake icing, the pink impatiens blossoms peeping through being the most perfect decorative touches imaginable. Yesterday the snow all melted and this morning the land is white again, this time with heavy frost. How odd to have the first measurable snow before we have the first heavy, killing frost.

Dead impatience stems and leaves turn black. Today the impatience are wilted yet still green. How dead are they? This world astonishes me. It is a day to be astonished. Happy Halloween!
