First Frost

On a chilly early morning Saturday walk with the dogs we passed the neighbor's horse pasture.

Only a few trees have started to show some autumn color, but we've had frost on the ground the last two mornings.


It seems early in the season to have so much ice on the plants.


An old folk myth looks at the Woolly Bear Caterpillar to indicate the severity of the coming winter. The wider the center stripe, the harder the winter.

From the looks of this guy I spotted yesterday, there's going to be lots of knitting time before spring.
