Frosty Saplings

After such a mild December, it was pure delight to have a comprehensive hoar frost at Sun Rising a few days ago.  The trees had been starting to think of waking, the maple bark glowing, the rose buds swelling – and then came the frost, and everything sighed and went back to sleep.

We are back to milder days now, although the wind can feel cold, but those few days of frost have thankfully put spring back on hold.
