The temperature is rising!

Today I might get Out!

I’m dancing down my hallway

with a Celebratory Shout!

I’m burning a candle for Jeff today,

for successful surgery.

I’m burning a candle for Jeff today,

with a prayer that he can see.

A ship’s in the harbor

swinging round with the tide–

three football fields long,

but not very wide.

It’s bringing in cargo

from a far away port.

It can’t off load here.

Our piers are too short.

So it drifts in our harbor,

passing the day.

And then it will leave us,

just sailing away.

I’d like to plant my Sweet Peas.

Seeds go in by President’s Day.

But, the flower bed is under the snow.

It’s not going to happen that way!

I got up rather early

to check out the cold and snow.

My drive is still a sheet of ice

so there’s no way I can go.

I pulled up a cozy snuggley

and settled in an easy chair.

I’ll spend my day in comfort

since I can’t go anywhere.

They said it would get warmer—

that the temperature would rise.

I just looked out the window,

and I couldn’t believe my eyes!

The snow is falling harder

than it fell all yesterday.

There’s not a doubt about it.

Snow’s moving in to stay.

It’s a day for the soft, warm snugglies.

It’s a day to turn up the heat.

It’s a day for some good hot coffee.

It’s a day for a Winter Treat!
