Snow whispers down from the pre-dawn dark Cascades of white catching the light illuminate the scape Inches accumulate while kids sleep late dreaming in cozy Coffee brewing fills the kitchen with wake me Groggy stiff fingers gratefully take that first cup Getting the motor going Warming things up Ready to head to the city with his machine Clearing parking lots LGR©2/4/14 |

A day off for you. A day of work for him. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Morning Guys! I'm ready for a nap! If this isn't a day for sugarfree hot chocolate I don't know when would be! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Lori |

It is cold but the wind isn't blowing so it isn't too bad. Word has it that the highway is nasty-cars in ditches, semis stuck on off ramps. I'm home, I'm home, I'm home! |

Hi Lori, Coffee in the tropics isn't near the same as coffee on a cold snowy morning. It really is the little things...and those precious ones that make it memorable in the best of ways. Your poetry cuts a smooth swath through the thickest of Winters. ...just bein' Bluesy |

James! Glad I could take you back. The snow is about a foot deep here and just about done. They have canceled school again for tomorrow. WOO WHO! Lori |

Bluesy, What a delightful thing to say! You are much too kind. Drinking a hot cup of coffee in the snow-priceless! Lori |

I wish it would snow here! Unfortunately, school has been cancelled several times due to the cold.. but the snow, I miss it.. It's warmer when it snows. |

Kaoru- Yes and quieter too! I love the way the snow puts a "muffler" on every thing. The wind is really howling now! Thanks for commenting! |

Thanks Ida! Thanks to the snow and Parent Teacher Conferences the kids only had classes on Monday this week. Hopefully I will still get to go in Thursday. Have found that hot oatmeal (without the lumps) tastes pretty good anytime of day (or evening) It is a balmy 5 degrees here with gusts of wind up to 30mph. You should see the drifts! I'm lovin' it!
