Ice and Fire

The weather here today is both treacherous and beautiful: a wintery mix has encased everything in a solid coat of ice. Although it is nearly impossible to leave the house, the crackling fire offers an awfully convincing argument to just enjoy the view of the sparkling world without from the chair between the window and the fireplace.

I think I will.

  2. I tried to leave the house...couldn't make it to my car without fear of breaking some sort of bone. A fire sounds much better!

  3. We also are encased in this wintry wonderland. How many days until Spring? Sometimes the weather forces us to just be. :)

  4. Beautifully descriptive. A balmy 29 degrees in my neck of the woods today.

  5. The the ice covered branches were really pretty. Not such a bad day to observe it all from inside!

  6. I agree - I was happy to read under a blanket for much of the day. I agree with the other comment - "sparkling world without" is just wonderful.
