~Winter Scenes ~

I went walking in a Winter Wonderland

Wrapped up in my favorite velvet coat

I love traveling through the fresh fallen snow in my beautiful sleigh.

Then I woke up

and realized I was NOT Anna Karenina

and the only fur I had; 

was on my fuzzy slippers.

Oh well, says I

Life is still good.

As I snuggle close to the roaring fire 

that Mr. Wonderful prepared

To warm us on this snowy, icy, January day

And as I sit with with my hands wrapped around a steaming mug
of Ghirardelli Cocoa

I realize there is no place I'd rather be than here
snug as a bug
in my little
 Dressed Up Cottage

Take that
Anna Karenina
