I’m participating in Just Jot It January, a fun word prompt exercise organized by blogger Linda G. Hill. It happens all month during January. And it’s not too late to join in the fun. Check the details out here. The word prompt for today is ‘darkness.’
Darkness – that’s what my view should be right now.
Yes, I should be hibernating deep in a cave somewhere, sound asleep and out for the winter.
It was 9 degrees when I woke up yesterday morning! In north Texas. It should not be 9 degrees anywhere. Does the weather not know that I am not a winter person? (Although, on the flip side of this – my gratitude for the day is that I don’t live in Russia where it hit a negative 88 degrees! Yes, I’ll be thankful that I’m where I’m at and I’ll keep that rare 9-degree mark.)
So, if you don’t see any posts from me for a while – it’s because I’ve gone to hibernate. See you in the spring!

I love your winter poem.

Thanks John. Me too. I can’t take credit for it. I saw it circulating on Facebook. But it sure mirrors my thoughts of winter!

Thanks! You’re not a winter person either I take it.

I do love the cooler weather (I live in S Texas where it is way too hot outside to enjoy it). I don’t like driving in snow or icy roads. I do like to play in the snow!

I’m with you on the driving in snow or on icy roads! I could NOT live up north where they have those conditions for so long.
