KFRM BlogJack Frost By Kim L. Fritzemeier KFRM Central Kansas Reporter Farm Wife along the Stafford/Reno County Line  Wheat crop on November 18, 2010, after a heavy frostThe leaves fall The wind blows And farm country slowly changes From summer cottons Into its winter wools Henry Beston, Northern Farm There was no frost on the pumpkin, a condition some poet once eloquently wrote about. (I did look at the pumpkin I had near the front steps, but truly - and surprisingly - there was no frost.) However, last Thursday, there was frost on plenty of other things here on the County Line. I did need my "winter wools" - or at least a heavy sweatshirt - when I went on my walk. But the nippy air was worth it for the beauty of the heavy frost. Like icing on a birthday cake, the frost decorated weeds and gave them a festive gleam.  It transformed them from boring brown to crystals glimmering in the faded light of the sun, which was shy to arise on the crisp November morning. Summer or fall ... fog or frost ... There's beauty to be found among the weeds.I think there's a lesson there.  August 18, 2010
