The Hard Frost

The Hard Frost

Ava loved her asters. In August they began to bloom, bright and beautiful.

The air turned colder in September. Some nights, she covered her flowers with a sheet.

Ava lifted the sheet the next morning. She let her asters see the sun.

The air turned colder in October. Many nights, she covered her flowers with a towel.

Ava lifted the towel the next morning. She let her asters see the sun.
