There definitely must have been frost on the pumpkin this morning however we didn't see any of the orange gourds. There was plenty of frost on the meadows and roof tops as we drove out this morning. It was a pleasant drive to Springfield as US Rte-60 has been much improved to a divided four lane all the way. In Springfield we picked up Wilma, Jo's sister, and then made our way to our campground on Table Rock Lake.
We were in this campground 50+/- years ago with our pickup camper and had our canary "Rex" with us. We had left Kenneth and Phyllis in Springfield with G'ma & G'pa Ledgerwood for that first night while Jo and I came down to set up a campsite and the Ledgerwoods were planning on coming down the next day for the weekend camp-out with us. That night as we were enjoying our campfire we heard a rustling in the leaves around our picnic table where Rex was parked in his cage. It turned out to be a large copperhead snake that I eventually managed to plant a large stone on it's head and we watched our steps the rest of our stay that weekend.
The wish today is for no repeat of that experience and we will just have to see what we can find to spend the next couple of days here with Wilma.

Well maybe the colder weather will keep the uninvited from returning to your camp site. :-)
