Hard Freeze 11-03-21

**********************

“Vivid & Lively
Frozen by Change of Season
Suddenly Decayed”

**********************

Overnight, we finally had our first "killing freeze" of the Season.
All of my outdoors flowers (except for one pot of Petunias https://pbase.com/britestar/image/172097874) are now dead. I am very surprised that the white Petunias - which I considered the most delicate - somehow survived the cold. Nothing else did. The next hard freeze isn't expected for another 9 days.

Summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Always sad to see the end of our summer flowers.

A haiku that describes the image precisely.
