Winter Arrived Today
November 8, 2014, Winter arrived today.
Snow is here, -10 degrees,
Sweep the car off, scrape the windshield,
Warm it up before moving.
Unploughed roads, no centre line,
Log trucks spread white-outs as they zip by.
Highway slush ridges pull at the wheels.
Mental adjustment not yet accomplished
For safe driving or dressing warm.
It's a white knuckle day.
Can't get warm, heat's up, fire's going,
A clammy dampness has crawled in
Causing arthritic joints to complain.
Semi-darkness seeps inside from overcast skies.
Looks like my dog is wearing white frozen socks.
Need a comfort food and flannel nightie combo,
Cinnamon toast, a nice cup of tea with honey.
A fuzzy blanket, a chick flick,
My dog curled up by my feet.
