We had an unusually late frost last night, 37F on the back porch at 7AM and frost on the shingles of the garage roof as well as all across the field. Not a problem for anything in the garden because I don't have anything planted. It was still quite chilly a couple hours later to numb my fingers when I stood out on the back porch watching Yellow-rumped and Orange-crowned warblers foraging for their breakfast in the maple tree. The Orange-crowneds arrived here the day before yesterday; the Yellow-rumps a couple of weeks ago.
