I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
and shivering trees are standing in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

I had me a man in summertime
He had summer-colored skin
And not another girl in town
My darling’s heart could win
But when the leaves fell trembling down
Bully winds did rub their faces in the snow
He got the urge for going And I had to let him go

He got the urge for going
When the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter was closing in

The warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
They’ve got the urge for going, they’ve got the wings to go

They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

I’ll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
and I’ll the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in
I’d like to call back summertime and have her stay jut another month or so
She’s got the urge for going and I guess she’ll have to go

And she get the urge for going when meadow grass is turning brown
All her empires are falling down
winter’s closing in- Joni Mitchell

Your pictures are just gorgeous! We have also begun our cold weather season out in Vancouver BC. It took us by surprise which meant a few of our greenhouses, full of poinsettias, got a little chillier than we would like :)

Welcome to Winter!

Never a garden here. I killed three plants this year. I give up. However, I LOVE these photos. Almost makes me want to wake to a frosted morning too. Almost, but not quite.

Gorgeous photos.

I’ll trade you your first frost for our first snow storm. (8″ on Sunday night/Monday…plus another 2″ last night. And more predicted all weekend.) Blech.

The tomato plants have been toast for awhile now.

Beautiful pictures.
Personally, I hope I get to harvest my tomatoes, peppers and eggplants for a few more weeks (lots of fruit still on the vines). But I have only a tiny city garden. Of course, the cherry tomatoes will split with the downpours we are having today: I did my best to pick the ripest ones last night, but it was pretty dark by 6:45!

Great photos! The fruit flies seem extra annoying this year. I’ve noticed them too.

Beautiful photos. No frost for us yet, but it rained all night last night! Fall is definitely here!
