First Frost

We had our first frost last nite, but not a "killer" frost. Most of the stuff in the yard is fine. I did bring in a couple of plants that have been summering outdoors though. A couple of days ago, Cheryl pointed out that there seems to be a lot of large buds on the lilac bush, so I went out and got this picture. This really doesn't make sense since the first buds in the spring are leaf buds - green - and the emerging flowers don't look anything like this, and it is late fall, etc??? A very pretty sight though!
