no frost and it flowers


our pet twig photographed last night, with the frost flower developing. There is no frost on the ground, and this is consistent with what happens in the woods (see below). It is some property of cold air on bare wood that has been in woods. I don't think the explanations that have I read so far quite hold up. It is not the woods themselves, or the cold alone.



Spot (bottom literally left) says he will lose the will to live unless we change the subject.

It seems you have a magic twig. Perhaps you should take it on the road and make a few pounds off it. Of course it would have to perform reliably every night...

I'll bet if you threw the pet twig to play fetch, he'd be in!
