The front yard looks like this; we have had several days that have started in the mid 30's. We try to spare the brunt of the cold from our favorite flowers. This morning was much milder and we should be able to remove all of the blankets. Another frosty temperature isn't expected for the next 4-5 weeks now!
The cooler temperatures finally give beautiful oranges and reds to the maples and to this one, a black cherry tree.
And at the same time, the farmers are cutting their last hay fields for a few months. It sure does look beautiful to see a freshly baled field.
