Storming Outside

The wind is blowing so hard outside that I'm hearing that whistling noise 

 I usually only hear in winter . . . 

It's turned awfully stormy,

the sort of stormy that makes me wonder 

if I need to turn on the radio and listen for 

a weather advisory????

I'm making a pot of coffee,

 and baking some cookies . . . 

just because it feels like that sort of 

afternoon.

The sort of afternoon when you want to cozy up

with a good book

and some classical music

and good coffee,

and warm cookies . . .

and hope the storm lasts

for a while.

Maybe I'll put on a load of laundry,

just to pretend I'm being

industrious and such!

Or not . . .
