frosty mornings

 we have only had a couple of frosts here this winter so far....I so love the early morning light glittering on the ice crystals...

 he's not overally thrilled tho!

and crunching the grass underfoot when you go and collect the eggs and check the chickens is so satisfying...(or rather you send a kid, 'cos its cold!)

these poor giant pumpkins long to be carved and given a purpose...they told me so...until then they are enjoying the ice clinging to their shiny skins..perhaps this weekend will be a carving weekend?...
