Winter Mornings

There are winter mornings when the cold without only adds to the warm within, and the more it snows and the harder it blows, brighter the fires blaze.
Emily Dickinson

We had a beautiful snowfall this morning. Large, fluffly flakes swirling and dancing to the ground. I could have stood and watched it for hours.




Winter is the cozy time of year and I thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being snug in my home. This afternoon while the snow was still falling I spent some time on the couch under a soft warm blanket, reading an old book. Can life get much better than that?

Sometimes it is indeed the simple things that are the most enjoyable.
