Frost

so the frost came and in order to help your poor plants who up till now have been luxuriating in a mild fall to winter... okay most of the time in LA... mom watered them before the frost hit... and thru burlap sacks over our smaller citrus trees... well then the water froze giving us a temporary winter wonderland... which we are not afforded often, though i can say, well you know back in the 80's... and have an actual frame of reference for making frostballs before school in the morning... so anyway there was some plant carnage (which didnot survive the frost)-- some that look black and liqued looking and my beautiful baby nasturtiums didn't make it nor did a few sunflowers and the canna lilies and well other plants i don't want to talk about dying... but anyway the crunchy iced grass and other things were fun and i got to wear a hat and warm sweater and scarf and everything.
