Feelngs toward Winter

Winter is a seasonal beauty; with her sparkling twinkling snow Her frosting turns the landscape into a communal wedding cake. She instigates thoughts in me I have not had since last winter. I am inclined to make hot chili with jalapeno peppers. Something hot to warm me inside while I marvel at the outside. Fairies enter my mind as I stare into the all-encompassing whiteness. I want to settle down with a good book and snuggle into my blankets. But I like my job so another state of mind pushes this one out. I locate my mittens, boots, scarf, fluffy coat and a face mask. a face mask helps me avoid pneumonia in winter. I slather myself with heavy coverings, so I can scrape my car. the wipers are frozen tightly to the windshield Watch out for black ice, a warning from the radio station. As I maneuver my car out of my driveway I stare at winter. Her beauty is disarming, but I understand her chameleon treachery. I will be gritting my teeth until I arrive at my destination.
