Hibernating

cooler sun
colder days
come indoors
where it’s warm

as a recluse 
life’s just great
bundle up
and stay indoors

leave bad weather
in your backyard
where it belongs
that's why it's called
the great outdoors

Janice Canerdy Date: 2/15/2019 11:47:00 AM Ah, a concise, lovely poem that describes what I'm doing today, Line! Janice Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/15/2019 12:02:00 PM Awesome, Janice. Enjoy every minute of it.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/15/2019 3:26:00 AM I am a recluse today too. This weather is AWFUL! It is only 9 degrees here today. Yesterday it was 53 degrees, but by the time we left our PT conferences at 6:30 p.m. it was about 33 degrees. BRRR! Ozone layer, I wish you could re-build yourself! I am really tempted to stay home today where I am safe. Thanks for the reminder - indoors is warm.
