Staying Warm

I could hardly believe my eyes this morning. When I looked out my bedroom window, there was several inches of snow on the ground. The wind, moving horizontally, carrying blankets more snow, suggested that was only going to grow. Branches were already heavy from the wet snow accumulating. My windows were frozen with ice trails formed from the rain that washed them only the evening before.

As I looked out the kitchen window into my blizzard-curtained backyard, I caught a glimpse of two teeny people casually sitting on bench, all cozy and comfortable, like they were enjoying a warm autumn day! The woman waved at me. The man leaned back and chuckled. I believe they thought the surprised look on my face was quite humourous. Easy going people, they seemed, anyway.

Once I was sure my senses weren't playing tricks on me, I chuckled and waved back. Then I promptly turned around and put on some holiday music for the pair. From the way they began tapping the tops of their legs and swaying in their seats, I was lead to believe they were enjoying my choices. Can't go wrong with the classics.
