#frost damage

Winter remnants: Mexican sunflower (Tithonia fruticosa), in Cochise County, Arizona.

Some of her leaves turned yellow, despite the soil being completely dry. Maybe she’s removing some leaves to make space for her babies, maybe she doesn’t like standing so close to the window when it’s cold outside 🤷🏼‍♀️ the other leaves are doing fine so i’m not worried

Wanted to show ya'll what frost damage looks like! It's not pretty! The Aeoniums might survive as some of their centers look healthy, but I do have to remove all their mushy leaves and they're going to look pitiful for awhile. And the Aloe will be fine, one leaf down is nothing.

What you are seeing are my Potatoes that have been damaged from the couple of frosty nights. Not severe but enough to cause this.

My remaining vines are starting to show frost damage after a couple of nights in at least the mid-30s.

Two nights of freezing temps was too much for our Scarlet Emperors: 

Frost blasted tomato plants. This is what they normally look like on November 1st:

Autumn Color & Fall Scenes

My wife had to work Saturday so I made her breakfast: 

Added some more fencing and another vampire bride to our Halloween decorations. I manage to get my coffee mug in the shot too: 

Blueberry bush Fall colors: 

Beauty in entropy: 

Falling leaves: 

That purplish tinge to this tomato leaf is an indicator of frost damage: 

Our potato plants are looking good: 

The middle pole bean is a Kentucky Wonder and the ones on either side are Scarlet Emperors: 

I don’t know what this cricket’s plan was but I’m sure getting trapped in a dog dish wasn’t part of it:

Sunday Night Out & Monday In The Backyard

My queen took me out to dinner on Sunday to celebrate my birthday: 

Although I’m not wearing one in this photo, we did mask up & brave the plague-ridden streets of the city: 

I don’t normally wear more jewelry than just my wedding band but I was feeling fancy so I wore my gray cat’s eye ring too: 

White-throated sparrow: 

Dark-eyed junco: 

Carolina wren & Downy woodpecker: 

American robin: 

House sparrows - male & female: 

Oddly, our Red Hot Poker’s foliage is looking great despite the overnight freezing temperatures:   

Silhouette of a gray squirrel barking its brains out: 

Not-My-Cat. She is pregnant so we’ve been letting her hang around. No clue as to who she actually belongs to: 

Post-freeze elephant ears: 

A little Winter time color:
