It is a day for being inside. The trees dance left and right, back and forth, but completely out of step with each other. The wind slams against the house like the waves at Sunset Beach on the North Shore. The snow flurries are erratic. Some flakes drive straight across the sky rushing, pushing to get to the ground. While other flakes sway and float, here and there, going no place in particular in no kind of hurry. I am grateful for the strong walls and solid windows that protect me, keeping me warm and cozy inside while looking out.
We had high winds and hail yesterday afternoon. When I got home from school, the sun was shining, so I took Lucy, my basset hound, for a walk. About 5 minutes after we got home I heard the pinging of hail. I was also glad to be looking out from inside. Enjoy the coziness.
ReplyDeleteYour description makes me wish to stay inside cozy and warm too. I like the image of trees dancing out of sync.
ReplyDeleteA perfect description of that windy, snowy day! I can just picture it. It's nice to have a cozy place to observe it all!
