♥Winter lingering... Only a memory...

♥  ♥  ♥

Looking back through a past blog of mine  ~~  I came upon a late Feb. '09 post, titled

"A Late Winter Fantasy...  Come join me..."  

What a difference in our weather patterns, from '09 to '12!  

I copy some of that post, below...

Dear Cielo says to look and to listen... That Spring and Faeries are near. And I love her, for saying such. But... -sigh-
~~~
When I look, I see only snow and ice. And when I listen, I hear only howling wind. I fear my Garden Faeries are still ensconced for now, in some warm and far away place, because of the latitude of where I live, or something.
~~~
So I think I'll stay in the library above, for a little longer. Curled up on the comfy sofa, in front of a roaring fire in the big fireplace, reading and reading and reading... Until the snows stop falling and the ice stops forming and the winds stop howling.
~~~
Actually, the fantasy of doing such, is very, very pleasing. If I had such a library as pictured above, I might not fret so much, if winter did linger. And... If I had a long-time supply of cocoa and coffee to sip in the day time... And a long-time supply of Champagne to sip, in the evening hours... And plenty of firewood for the fireplace. It might be quite nice. :-)
~~~
If you are in a latitude where winter is lingering, perhaps you'd like to come visit with me? And sip and read for a while, too?

Back to the present...  

Though it looks as if Vee had snow, all we got yesterday was rain.  And this morning, we have this...

...and this...

I'd still love to have that beeeeeeeeautiful Library, pictured above.  And a roaring fire in a big fireplace.  And books and books and books to read.  :-)

-chuckle-  I've also seen this quote written as;

"I used to be pure as the driven snow, but I drifted."  ~Mae West

Either way, one *gets the drift*...  ,-)
