Got home last night, and the stars were shining. It was a very clear night as evidenced by the fact that I was able to see the Andromeda Galaxy unaided. That always seems like a miracle to me.
A clear night usually means one thing this time of year, a frost. Sure enough we had a hard one last night. Many of the observed changes in the natural world are gradual and subtle. Not so the first hard frost of the year. Had to scramble to dig the scraper out of the back of the car and get busy on the windshield in the dark before heading to meditation this morning. I'm afraid that the basil, parsley, and tomatoes which have been merrily growing around the house for months now are done for. They may be gone for good, and I'm gone for a week.
