This morning, I woke up with a sinus headache that made me feel like my left eye was going to pop out of my head. You know the kind I'm talking about? I don't get these very often, but I'm particularly upset about this one because I have a big race tomorrow.
Anyway, I go about my early morning routine with my eyes closed as much as possible (it just seems to hurt less that way).
I don my headlamp, grab my milking pail, and head out into the still-dark, very cold morning. Wait a minute! What is that glimmer on the grass? My headlamp is illuminating little diamonds on each blade. How beautiful!

I finally get past my sinus-headache-induced euphoria enough to realize that these beautiful diamonds are in fact frost . . . heavy frost.

Errrgggg.

And, I've been so busy with other things, that I've failed to check the weather forecast and erect the cold frame that could've saved my poor garden plants.

I know they say not to cry over spilled milk, but surely it's acceptable to shed a tear over frosted kale. Yesterday, it was so healthy and beautiful. Now, it may not be salvageable.

Looks like my procrastination has come back to frost-bite me in the bum!
