Nature Note:Serious Cold

The frost was thick on the Asian pear leaves I raked this morning.It was 21 degrees Fahrenheit,or -6.11 degrees Celsius.The first serious cold of the season hastened everyone.I didn't want to stand on the ground for long,even though I had my wool socks on.I needed to get back on the asphalt driveway or the concrete garage floor,so I worked fast.The sun came up red,but there was no hint of its fire on the frigid land.
