Fair to middlin' of nowhere

The wind is pelting the house with sleet.
The windows on the north side
are covered in ice.
Steam rises from a coffee mug
while a little heater purrs in the corner.
A new fuzzy Christmas blanket
spreads out across the recliner.
Toes wiggle in warm furry slippers.
Kitty tucks her nose under her tail
and the dog sighs in his sleep.
All is quiet except for the soft sounds
of the early morning winter storm.
Cozy in my chair,
my mind is comfy too.
All the worries in the world are trapped
outside with the weather.

"All the worries in the world are trapped
outside with the weather."

Ah, and when the winter storm abides and it is no more, that the "worries off the world" will also be no more.

Good one, Lori!

When your "mind is comfy too" Lori Rhoden, it matters not where the chips call home. I shall record the moment to playback whenever needed.

Merci beaucoup mon amie,


Au Revoir

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Dear Sir,
I wish I had thought to pick up a cozy bottle of wine for the long cold night. Ah, hot cocoa it is! ~L
