Ramblings of a rural(ish) geek

I took DB in to school this morning as he had to chat with a teacher about the work he'd missed when he was out sick, so I ran some errands while I was out. As I was on my way back home, I noticed that there was frost on some of the trees, and it was getting thicker as I got toward home (I guess it's colder out in the "country" than it is in town). (It was 0F when I took this picture, according to the backyard thermometer.)

(that's the rosebush by the deck, which becomes a sparrow bush in the winter.) [ETA: Hm. I see that I forgot to fill the thistle feeder while I was feeding birds this morning. Will remedy that soon-ish.]
