Tuesday

The storm arrives


After a couple of weeks of downright warm weather, the days are rainy and there are freezing temperatures at night. These are the days that we long for when we're sweating our way through summer. It is gloriously chilly! The fire is warm, the Christmas lights brighten our house, and the heavy raindrops on the roof are a favorite song.

I still have my jammies on, school is meandering along, and it is just about time for some more coffee. The clock is ticking too quickly toward the moment when I need to play chauffeur; for these few hours more I will savor the quiet.



The mist settles in.
