Nature Note:Spring Frosts

The spring frosts show that the sun is getting higher each day,but not that high just yet.Some early blooms are seen,but not that many now.Were the fruit trees to blossom,they would be badly nipped by the frost,resulting in a poor crop.That is the problem with an overly warm spring day.It fools plants into flowering,and then they are damaged at night by frost.The forester is glad to have the frost,though.Cool weather makes his morning work a lot pleasanter.He can get a lot done on a clear dawn.
