Heavy Frost

We had heavy frost the other night so I brought in my hanging baskets of impatients and put them in the garage. It got down to 29 degrees and there was heavy frost on everything. The grass was crispy. Then we decided we better bring in the hummingbird feeder as it is mostly water in the syrup and it would freeze too. We went out to get it and the little hummingbird buzzed our heads while we took it down. Then the next day I put it out again and filled it and by golly, that little guy buzzed my head so close I could hear his wings. A little closer and I think he would have gone through my hair. He sits on the shepard's hook and guards it against the rest of the hummingbirds and won't let them drink. He runs them off. It is so funny and lots of fun to watch.
