Frost ... Friend Or Foe In The Garden ...
Look out! Look out!
Jack Frost is about!
...
He’ll climb each tree
So nimble is he,
His silvery powder he’ll shake;
To windows he’ll creep,
And while we’re asleep,
Such wonderful pictures he’ll make.
Across the grass
He’ll merrily pass,
And change all its greenness to white;
Then home he will go,
And laugh, "Ho! Ho! Ho!
What fun I have had in the night!"
[C E Pike]
Although I wouldn’t normally welcome the sight of frost ... after the last weeks of torrential rain and gale force winds ... frost seems a small price to pay to be able to get out into the garden without ending up wet through!
