Lazy Days

Let the cold, integral to fall Allow a furlough from life’s gall Zapped of heat, my water love lost Yielding to blankets, dark accosts… Days mist like ghosting memories All wrapped warm, swaddled in stories Yet, outside forces beat and knock… So wish to hibernate, doors locked! (12/12/21)

Your "Lazy Days" is a wonderful write. Wrapped in a warm blanket with a book and hot tea/coffee sounds great to me. Have a blessed day and New Year.................

Ah, yes, to retreat from the cold - preferably with good reads, coffee + sweets. How I relate to this posting! Happy, warm days to you, indoors, as we greet the winter solstice with a shudder. Cheers, Brian

Yes, indeed, Susan, add the Kalua, or a little Bailey's. Sometimes we need the comforting warmth of a coffee perk. Cheers, Brian

Hi Brian! Indeed...if not for the coffee spiked with sweet Kahlua or an Irish Whiskey, the cold would be unbearable! lol I stayed a full three days indoors and in the end, my back complained about laying around reading so I had to take the dogs for a walk in the rain...warm boots of course hehe Merry Christmas to you :)

You'd profit from a cat on your lap in that scenario, or so I reckon.

true except I'd have to worry about a cat-sitter once my hibernation ends as the days warm up again...I get my dose of animal being grandma to two dogs, a cat, and a turtle...I think the dogs will be away with their parents for Christmas and I'll be staying with the other two :)
