Winter's Sun...

I haven't poked my nose...out the door, today.

: )

The Wind...is Howling!

Blizzard Warnings....North, and West...of us.

I can Feel...the Cold Wind, Blowing...through the House.

The Windows, are rattling, so are the doors.

That...takes a Lot...of Wind. 

Our Home...is Pretty Tight!

<3 

When you can hear...the Wind...Whistling, through the Bare Branches, of the Trees....

ya Know, it's Best...to stay inside. : )

I, don't like the Wind.

It's so...unsettling. 

I noticed, as I was walking through the house, this morning...

trying to get to the coffee pot...

how the Sun, was shinning through the picture window...

in Spite,

of....the Wind.

: )

It felt so Warm. : )

I loved the way it seemed to caress the Old...'Junk Yard', on the Sideboard.

<3 

I, thought...to myself...

how Wonderful, The Winter Sun, is.

<3

I...realized, that I appreciate it, so much more, 

than during the other Seasons.

: )

Somehow, it seems to Warm...us, from the inside...out. 

It's difficult, to put into words.

I've collected the Old...'Junk Yard', treasures...

for, decades.

The 'Misfits'...: )

things...that, at one time....were Loved, dearly.

then...

sadly, were lost, and forgotten.

They, are Such...Soulful, things. : )

like, The Winter's Sun...

they, too...

Warm me, from the inside...out.

they...make me Smile.

Priceless.

Love...to ya.

<3
