LATE FROST

Much to my surprise this morning
was visited by a light frost
without a hint of any warning
I hope tomato plants aren't lost

Guess we'll know by afternoon
if luck has chanced to come our way
or if I'll have to replant soon
on a somewhat warmer day

hello

The frost was apparently of short enough duration as to cause no harm. But frost in May around here is rare enough to take note of............stan

here too...

it had warmed up
then suddenly temperatures fell
reheating had to be started
weather men
can't really tell
blame the Global Warming
Wild guess like hell!
