chilly desire

Florida Winter

A Desire So Elusive

Fifty-nine Brings Joy

Morning degrees in Fahrenheit …. Brrrrr
Snug inside with blanket and hot coffee!

So we begin this years Just Jot January. Thanks Linda! 

Our prompt for JusJoJan January 2nd, 2020, is “a picture you’ve taken in the last week.” If you don’t want to share the photo itself, talk about it. If you haven’t taken any photos, talk about a moment you wish you had. Have fun!

Full disclosure: The photo of the temperature (in Fahrenheit) was taken by my hubby–braving the freezing cold! The coffee / blanket pic is a selfie documenting my blissful enjoyment of hot coffee and the need for a blanket! And for those of you who may be worried about the potential for frostbite, no need. It’s currently 79 degrees (feels like 82). Winter’s a rare beast here in the south lands. I don’t miss the frigid wind chills or snow of Illinois but I do love the occasional brisk day! Hopefully we’ll get a few more 🙂

Winter Comes

Unbidden flurry

Nature’s scythe forsaking fall      

Fractured and formless

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is dedicated to my northern family and friends enduring their second (or is it their third?) early snowfall of the year. Florida has its faults (and boy this summer was HOT and LONG) but aaaaahh the winters are SWEET.
