Poem
Age and Cold
Age and Cold
There is a combination which I have found to be a chilling pair.
It’s the wrinkled and tattered skin of mine and this cold arctic air.
My joints are sore already so they do not need the chill.
To say the least my aching knuckles are not a real great thrill.
Oh for the days when a snowball fight was considered a really fun game.
These days I will stay inside by a roaring fire if it’s all the same.
I look forward to the days when the kids come for a visit.
I can hint how wondrous the fire would be and maybe they will build it.
Either way I prefer the warmth these days as do my fingers and my toes.
Whenever it’s cold and snows.

Keep warm! :)

Oh Mary Dear:
Too cold too even think about it. It is 51 degrees here and will be about 78; warm breezes. Sorry, my friend, I wish you were here enjoying it with me : )
Peace & Hugs
Mary, today we have -2 actual degrees in my corner of Ohio. That's not even the windchill temp!!!
Mary........I agree with you and the cold Ohio days we are having. In the middle of Feb. we are heading south to Florida for 6 weeks and it can not come soon enough. I think I remember some one saying we were in for a mild winter..........I do not think that happened. Stay warm and think Spring in Ohio
Hugs......Sharon K
Hi Mary
It's 23 on the JERSEY shore. Light snow falling a good covering on the ground. I am actually wishing we had some more. I told my husband I turned my PJ's inside out.(when we were kids we did that wishing for a big storm so we didn't have school) I didn't really do it just being silly. I'm two blocks from the river and about 2 miles from the ocean this area seems to be a little warmer then further inland. Stay warm.

Oh Mary, you really want to know? At the moment it is 76 degrees. We are packing to go camping tomorrow in my little vintage trailer. I will try and send some warmth your way! Love your lastest banner...I love them all! Stay warm dear.
Hugs, Maryjane
come for a quick blog trip to see some warm weather garden pics. it does a soul good.
Oh Mary I am right there with ya! I do not like the Cccccold!
We were at a high today around 28? Woke up to a small amount of snow. Supposed to get much colder though. Ugh!
As of now while typing this comment it is 3 degrees above zero in SW Indiana. That's cold enough and I'm thankful it's not as cold as where you are although it will get colder overnight. Brrrrrr
Let's all try to stay warm!
Hi Mary,
Wow that seems really cold to me. Here in Australia it is Summer at the moment today hasn't been as hot as it has been but it is still 92 degrees with 60% humidity. Love your snow pictures.
Cheers Linda
Almost freezing here, but nice and toasty in the house.
Well, I can't compete with -30 actual temp, but it's around -4 here. I can so relate to the part of your poem about the achy joints! I was just commenting today about how I can't handle the cold the way I used to be able to. Oh, the glories of aging! ~Lori
