Coldest night yet!

As much as I love cool weather I still dread the first frost. All the plants that have been thriving outdoors for the summer have to come inside. I end up dragging them in at the last minute, working in the dark to get the last few. This year I was doing well; moving in a few at a time, repotting if necessary and checking for any bugs. Then today the cloudy skies cleared and the almost full moon was beaming down... perfect conditions for frost! The begonias and episcias had to come in promptly. As I was scurrying around, I noticed something odd on the carpet. I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing, but then I realized it was a yellow spotted salamander! He was relocated to the edge of the pond. A few minutes ago, I heard the trill of a tree frog... from inside the house! I haven't been able to track him down yet, but I will! I don't mind having critters in the house but it's hard for them to survive all winter inside.
