Frosting

The leaves fall off the ginko trees all at once, in just a few hours they go from golden to bare. It literally rains yellow leaves and sticky berries. It's mesmerizing. I am so bummed that I missed it this year.

We had a very hard frost last night and every stinkin' leaf fell off at dawn, while I was still in happy slumberland.

The frost was so heavy that it almost looked like snow this morning as we headed out to a household sale. I quick snapped these pictures as my better half scraped the ice of the van windows.

It was glittery and crisp and I should have worn my mittens.

Alas, I really will be winter very, very soon.
