First Frost

Frost on the birdbath this morning for the first time this fall. Isn't it pretty? Meanwhile the first colds have also arrived. Ben and I share nasty sneezing, mild sore throats and the need for lots of sleep (wish us luck!), while Paul had a sore throat that hit hard but left quickly. Given all the focus on the flu, it's a surprise to be reminded of how annoying a bad cold can be.
