outside:
trees trunks flocked white
branches waving skyward
wind chill plummeting
gusts rattling windows
sheets of snow whipping
winter storm warning
inside:
warm triple-chocolate brownies
peppermint steam rising from tea
fresh bread wafting cinnamon
fire flickering its invitation
book open on my lap
awaiting the storm
small stone - Mindful Writing Challenge
oh, you sound like a winter weather pro. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to be inside! What a fine cocoon.
ReplyDeleteIs this the storm that we have been "snow dancing" to bring on? Hope so. Glad you are snugly back in your home after the medical adventure in Denver.
ReplyDeleteYou sound so much better today...I will be by to share in your triple chocolate brownies and peppermint tea, please.
ReplyDeleteSounds very cosy and comforting...
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect image you created -- almost as if I was there. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds heavenly Barb! And the winter scene, just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
Your words take me there :)
ReplyDeleteEnough to make me wish for winter. Maybe just a few days of it snowed in by the fire? (I hate cold, so you must realize that your words are truly beautiful and powerful to make it sound wonderful!)
ReplyDeleteCan I say ooooooohhhhh!!!!!! Talk about a gorgeous way to await a storm. Can I have a brownie?
ReplyDeleteOh....simply warm, snug, and yummy!I'm enjoying your fire, sweet goodies, and the good book.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what sound better, a walk on the trail, or settling down in front of that fire.
ReplyDeleteBarb, I really love this stone... this really captures both parts of what I love about winter. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat fireplace is enticing. I need to start a new book and curl up.
