First 2012 fall frost

Yesterday I checked the weather forecast and it showed a low of 41 degrees for us this morning.  We have been enjoying the wonderful weather lately and have not used any heat or air conditioning for the last week or two, just opened the windows as desired.  Last night we closed up the house and set the heat to come on if necessary. 

It was necessary.  I woke up this morning and it was 36 degrees outside.  There was frost on the grass and a thin layer of ice on the trampoline.   I used the hose to start filling a pigeon drinker and the water flow slowed because of ice buildup behind the valve.   There was an ice slush mixture in the drinker bowl. 

The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately, however I would not mind if we got a little bit of rain.
