A mix of snow and sleet arrives today
Sticking and freezing in a cold display
Of white all around and skies are gray
A slippery time to drive or to play
Inside near the woodstove, I want to stay
I forgot the cocoa, so coffee has a way
Of sending the cold feelings away!

Nice! I totally concur! Not a fan of going out in the cold or snow anymore! You had me at coffee and woodstove!

What a sight! I live in the tropics so I'm delighted with your poetic display of what you do this Winter. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.

Sounds like a gray day, despite the beauty of white snow all around. Enjoy the comforts of indoors, Heidi.

I'm with Maureen, how I'd love to be in front of a wood burning stove sipping a hot cup of coffee right now. Beautiful Heidi

Thank you Maureen. I am grateful for where I am. It is not fancy, just an artistic cabin, but cozy with beautiful sights!
