what's going on out there

I love being an adult in a school of children who are eager to share the wonders of life, moment by moment, as they are discovered.  Yesterday morning, while standing in the outdoor environment, I found myself surrounded by children excited to share their newest discovery... FROST.  The fallen leaves were adorned with delicate icy patterns.  This prompted us to investigate the leafy beauty on all fours, crawling carefully across the grassy expanse, astonished by so much beauty.
The children were quick to tell me that I was seeing frost and not snow.  Snow was different and would be here soon but not yet.  For now frost was covering the leaves like "a cold breath".
