There Oughtta Be a Law That When

the mountains you see on your drive to work wear a cape of snow;
the scent of lilies sweetens your mind the instant you step outside;
several juicy books quietly wait for you to crack their spines;
a pot of hot tea and a honey biscuit are within reach;
the cats pile on top of you for warmth the instant you sit down;
your yarn stash is in danger of becoming tangled;
paints, pencils, and collage papers lie unused in their bins;
friends wonder if you’re alive because you haven’t written back;
your muscles, from tensing against cold, ache for a steaming bath;
the cold fireplace grate is filled with kindling…

…work should be canceled for at least two days.

I guess I’m lucky that the weekend has arrived.

    Nice blog. Your list is wonderful. Are your lilies blooming so early? If so, spring has come much earlier there. Ours don’t bloom until summer, and we can hardly wait for the moment our garden awakes. Crocuses and daffodils are just starting to bloom here…still to come the tulips and hyacinths and the last daffodils before the summer perennials begin to show their faces.

    Hope the weekend is a good retreat. Will be back to read more later. 🙂
