a frosty heart...

Yesterday morning, I awakened to the coldest morning of the week. At 6:30am, it was a chilly 27 degrees F! When I got up at 8am, it was just a degree or two above freezing, and the ground was covered with frost! It was lovely!!

I, of course, threw my jacket on over my pajamas, grabbed my camera, and went outside to see what sparkling frosty treasures I could find. The sun was already beginning to warm everything, and the frost was melting rapidly.

One of the treasures I found was this frosty heart...

And, though this frost-tipped leaf was quite beautiful, I pray that my own heart would ever be too warm to gather such lovely icy crystals...
