Sure Signs

Someone painted pictures on my
Windowpane last night -
Willow trees with trailing boughs
And flowers, frosty white,

And lovely crystal butterflies;
But when the morning sun
Touched them with its golden beams,
They vanished one by one!
(Helen Bayley Davis)

The predicted frost arrived - we woke up to white lawns, white roofs and a frosty garden. I guess autumn has arrived a few days early and my fall cleanup will begin.

The early morning rays melting off the frost had it's own beauty.
