First Killing Frost Was a Hummer Though Long Delayed.

On two or three previous occasions we have had very light frosts this fall but the first killing frost came Monday night. It was a hummer, if that descriptive adjective can be applied to a frost. It means in this case a frost that eould be seen when lazy people rolled out of bed along about 9 o'clock in the morning. It was accompanied by several degrees of freezing weather and followed by a beautiful fall day.
