Cats are always curious in the snow. As they sniff, the touch of their noses melt the snowflakes, and their tongues come out to lick away the moisture. They cautiously walk into it and inspect their paws, wondering how they suddenly became wet.
As for me, I’m comfortable at home with a warm drink and the glow of my monitors. The week has me burned out nowadays, and the weekends have become the only time for me to relax, the only time I can enjoy the sunlight during the shortened winter days. You can always recognize a winter sky by its paleness, causing particularly bright days and orange nights.
Christmas will be here soon. Vacation and trips home and family and the spirit of the season. Fall has come and gone. How does the time pass so quickly? Did I imagine I’d be here, at this stage in life, a year ago? Not at all.
I never realized how much I missed the winter, until the snow started falling.
Very sweet post, Jeff. While we’ve had no snow yet, I can feel it in my bones that any time, it’ll come. And I’ll do as you are, with my cocoa at my computer and enjoy watching it fall.
Cats are wonderful creatures to watch aren’t they? :)
Thanks for visiting my blog. You’re quite the detective. My cats didn’t always rule me, but as we’ve aged together over 14 years there has definitely been a subtle power shift.
I drove out of the city tonight and enjoyed one of those wonderful orange sunsets, sharing my isolated spot with a young doe for part of the time.
I hope you find this snowy weekend to be rejuvenating.
sweet post (^w^)
there was snow here for a total of about two days with a tiny bit of hail, but surprisingly enough, it’s all gone now.… weird…
