The Frost I meant. Jack Frost was here. Not the drink! Not in the morning, I am being good today! You guys!! Look: Cupboard Love -Chooks, hoping to ambush me.
Here is a little Jack Frost this morning.
and here. 
The corn is still hanging in there.
The rooster above is illustrating for Katherine, who is going out to celebrate her birthday on Saturday, what not to do, while wearing high heels and carrying a cocktail glass. 
These grapes were left so we can see what happens as the weather gets colder and the grape gets older. We are thinking about making ice wine one year!
Now I am going to go and write you a little story for tomorrow.

Your photographs are marvelous! You’ve earned a little Jack, and not the frost kind.
Really!. Maybe I will be bad after all! (later) c
Beautiful pictures! We’ve not had frost here yet, but my grass was all dew-ey this morning.
I love that dew-ey look! c
Frost!! Oh my!! I thought Jack was going to reference Jack O’Latern, not frost!! I’m not a cold weather lover but your photos have me feeling like I’d like to be right there!! And a little bit of Jack in your coffee to warm things up a bit!
Oh I never thought of THAT Jack, he is more of a white rum guy i think! c
I like that Jack Frost visited you. That means a little of the other Jack is in order to warm up!
My thoughts exactly Yummy, oh dear there is that halo slipping again!
We’ve not had frost yet in the City and I haven’t had any Jack in ages. Considering that this lovely photographed post was about frost, it’s surprising how many of your readers are suggesting you go ahead and have a little Jack in the morning, Perhaps I should blog about using vodka as an astringent.
I am sure you don’t need the encouragement!! However, I am working on a Barn Vodka Martini, it will be served in a small bucket, self icing in the winter.. any ideas?!! c
Hi Cecilia. Super photos. Do chickens always cross their legs! Looking forward to the story tomorrow.

I just realised he had crossed his legs when i got him up on the screen.. then it was.. oh wow.. slightly out of focus but could not resist his pose! c
Gosh, I hope the frost stays away a little longer here. I love the silouhetted cockerel.
Isn’t he lovely, he is only young and spends all day with his own girls out in the fields away from the other roosters.. he comes into the barn at night tho.. c
Love the grapes! You should bring them in after they dry on the vine – homemade raisins!
It’s still unusually warm here…no sign of frost yet. Our nights are still above 50 – that’s VERY odd…
I’m ready for a crisp, frosty morning!
Wow, you are warm. i have started digging about for the gloves and woolly hats for the morning walks.. I will test your raisin theory too.. i will keep you posted! c
Oh yes, it works! We´ve made some that way too. Or you could make sweet dessert wine with the raisins..doesn´t make much though…
So serene, so bucolic, such great shots (and models) t
Thanks Miss T. they are all a bunch of posers! c
Oh, I can’t wait for the first frost of the season here! What a wonderful way to wake up!
It is a lovely place to awake, I open the kitchen door and every animal on the farm turns to see if I am food! c
ROOSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
naughty rooster! c
Ha, I got so excited I had to go back and read. Thanks for the early birthday present. It’s next month, but hey I think I need to put on high heels and hold a cocktail this Saturday just for kicks!
Just don’t cross your long legs as you are walking across a fence.. c
Wonderful photographs you captured dear Cecilia, especially the dark one with the silhuette! You are amazing. Thank you and Have a nice weekend, with my love, nia
You have a good weekend too Nia, I will be here.. c

I really like the rooster photo!
P.S. Have you ever thought about writing a short story about your experience with the elderly folks? I can’t get that post out of my head!
It is next to be written after The Work I am writing now. I think I will write it as a screen play. I love that it has resonated with you. c
