Frozen in Time

You know it was just a couple of days ago the sun was out and it was almost nice outside. I know better though, that's just a false sense of hope. Mother Nature is not about to let Spring come to us, not yet. However, the odd day will be tossed out there so we can feel good and soak up a little of that wonderful Vitamin D that we so badly need during the dark months of winter.

There was a soft rime coating everything the other morning, but this morning, it was a lot worse. Everything is white and it won't warm up enough to melt at all. Even the thermometer is dressed in white spikes.

Animals, they hustle outside and then scurry back in very shortly thereafter. Their business outside is their own and I don't mind - most of the time. To be honest, anything that saves me room in the litter box is quite welcome! Doesn't mean I have to clean it any less often, but it does make it a little less unpleasant.

I find myself dreaming of tropical paradise destinations. Not for visiting, mind you, for living. Yes, I think perhaps I could do something so crazy as to move somewhere more agreeable year round. Where I could sit outside on a beautiful deck and practice yoga or meditation, write, or daydream and work on plots for writing at one point or another. It would be sweet. A warm ocean to swim in not too far off so I can hear the waves crashing against the shore. Yes, it would be agreeable.

I will sit here and drink my coffee and dream of warm white sands, green leafy vegetation, warm gentle breezes, and the sound of the surf.... It is one way to escape this cold netherhell region I am in - for the moment. Perhaps my creative visualization efforts will result in something... I will try!
