Cold

COLD

cold windy night
thermometer at zero
feels like ten below
covers pulled tight
let her blow


cold wintry night
tom cat with winter coat
wants to stay in
later with star shine
my lady love he purrs

He's a lucky tom cat, much to purr about! Freezing cold and he gets to stay indoors and dream about his kitty.:)) Do cats dream like dogs, Daver? Hoping all's going great for you! Love you, Mikki

Wonderful images of a cold winter's night. I love snuggling up inside and watching the snow and wind blow outside as ice crystals freeze on the windows.
