"Brrrrrrr......!"
Growing up in a place like Wyoming,
one gets SOMEwhat used to the harsh, cold, bitter * winters. *
So why is it that today,
on a day when
the snow is falling everywhere else..
BUT here.
It was only down to the mid-40's and I was freezing?
I got acclimated to the Cali weather.
How weak is that?
"Very."
And Now.
We have our palm trees in our yard.
Roses in full bloom.
Hummingbirds and...
half a dozen types of other birds
to wake up to each morning.
But...
All I can think about, is...
Hot cocoa.
Candy Canes.
Santa.
Happy children opening presents.
Scent of Pine.
Candles burning in a log cabin.
Logs crackling and couples, cozy on the couch.
Christmas Caroling...
* * *
Old Christmas Classics on TV.
(Frosty the Snowman)
(Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer)
(A Christmas Story)
And yet...
Nothing.
Absolutely... Nothing.
Can ever take away...
My.
Warm.
Winter.
Weather.
Warmth, from welcoming...
The Holiday Spirit.
Oh... and my favorite?
Pink Cheeks... and Rosey... Red Noses.
