We're under a winter storm warning right now. The wind has started to pick up and the temperature is falling. Today I stocked up on dog food and I bought a big bag of the expensive bird seed...the kind they really like.(Yes, birds do have a preference when it comes to what you put out for them.)
I have a pot of chili on the stove and I dusted off the snow shovels. I am ready.
Clearly, the grizzlies got it right when it comes to surviving winter. Lay on some fat and curl up where it's warm.

In other words, hibernate. This is not a bad idea for humans, either...especially humans who write.
When you go into hibernation to write for the winter, no one questions your motives. Maybe your car won't start, it's just that cold. You could get frostbite out there. The roads are hazardous. It makes perfect sense to stay indoors and curl up with the book you're writing.
Here are a couple of images that capture the comforts of hibernation.

Frigid here as well.....-20's tonight they tell us with a winchilll of -35. Where are my extra heavy socks?
ReplyDeleteWe are under a blizzards warning tonight as well. Expecting 8-15 inches. I have a big bowl of sugared strawberries and luckily my day off is tomorrow. School has been canceled. If we don't lose the power this could be the best storm ever.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and stay safe. The best place to be during a blizzard is tucked in at home.
DeleteBrrr. I had to leave the warm den to shovel once and then once again after it drifted last night. Having hot tea right now.
ReplyDeleteShoveled the snow, filled the bird feeders (3 times today), walked the dogs and scooped the poop. It'll take more than a cup of tea to thaw out.
