  • Winter -
    Around 1:00 I could feel the fingers of cold reaching into the house
    and beginning to wrap themselves around me. 
    Usually 1:00 is around the time the cold from the overnight begins to lift,
    but not so today.  Today it is the opposite. 
    It had been a comfortable temperature all through the night,
    but  I can feel the temperature outside is dropping now
    as it finds its way into my cozy home.  
    It shouldn't be long now before the ice and snow begin to fall.
    So I crank up the heat now... chase out the chill,
    and build up that blanket of comfort...
    just in case the electric goes out when the rain begins to fall
    and form itself as ice enwrapping power lines and tree limbs. 
    I am looking forward to the beauty.   I am hoping to stave off the cold.
    Winter - it comes but once a year 'round here. :-)

  • i sure hope you stay cozy warm.

    I like your narrative. The fingers of cold. lol My wife sometimes screams when my hands are cold. That is such a downer when she does that.

    Have a very nice, safe, warm and cozy day.

  • I hope you get the beauty, but none of the hassle...like the electricity going out!

    I love being inside and warm while watching the snow come down. Then, later, I like building a snowperson!
    :-)

    Stay safe and warm!
    HUGS!!! :-)

  • Icicles are starting to form on the tree branches and drip from the outdoor lights. It's been raining most of the day, and now it's starting to freeze. I'm staying up late to see the snow. (not so special to most people, but it's sort of cool when it happens to Florida)

    • Yes, same here... snow is a rare treat, which makes it that much more enjoyable. :-) The rain and freezing is just beginning here. It sounded like a bit of sleet was falling too.

  • I love your poetic writing! Stay warm and comfy! We've been staying inside for the past week due to the extreme cold temps here in Ohio.
