First Frost: About a Month Late

Well, here it is, 5 November 2014, and in south central PA we have yet to have our first frost.  We came close over the weekend, but the cloud cover and breeze sufficed to hold off the white rime. And it looks to be above freezing for the next several days at least.

So in the meanwhile these beauties are on display in our yard for our enjoyment:

You just gotta love the optimism of fall flowers, hoping to attract bees right up until they are not flying anymore and stay snuggled in their hives.
