...a country scene covered in white

waking up to a country scene covered in white.
snow still blustering through the air.

and the smell of fresh coffee coming from the kitchen.

mom is wrapping Christmas presents,
while dad bundles up for some hearty shoveling.

deciding that being trapped at home really isn't so bad...

i find my refuge in a blanket and rocking chair.
with my next pile of readings by my side,
and a stack of chai tea to choose from.
