A Hard Frost

Beauty can be dangerous. The frost sparkles delicately. It desiccates and destroys. Yet it's a necessary part of the life cycle here in Minnesota.

The cosmos didn't do so great during this summer's drought, and I rationed water, so they didn't bloom until after significant rain. Ten days is better than no days.
