The Flip Side of Autumn

The one autumn color I'm not crazy about showed up Friday -- the white of killing frost. I had huge elephant ears, interesting coleuses, dahlias and naturtiums -- "had" being operative word. The petunias and other late flowers aren't looking too happy, either, after three days in a row of the frost.

At least I'm not is Buffalo, NY. I was there once when they had more than enough snow -- now I avoid the place permanently.

I guess summer is officially over even for Tennessee and fall has fallen. I have to start looking for warm clothes, maybe make myself a new coat.
