Baby its cold outside
Looking out from my studio window this weekend, life seemed frozen in time. Crisp, cold. The kind of weather that freezes your nostrils, dares you to breathe while outdoors.
I can say this much: if nothing else, weather like this demands you slow down. There’s something to be said for this. Personally, I said “nap”. And my body agreed, sighing with the realization these opportunities, these mandated work stoppages, don’t come often in adulthood.
When given the opportunity, when the question is posed, “What’s to do on a bitter, cold January day?”, I have an answer. Stop. Take a moment to stop and smell the snowflakes. And then get your behind in side!
Happy Tuesday, all.

I agree. For me one of the joys of winter is staying inside. When you live in the North East it’s nice to foster some interests in things that can be done inside. I learned that long ago.
This is a really nice image. It brings home your message.
Thanks Ken–thank goodness it warmed up just a bit. Stay warm!
How did you get so wise? I am slowly learning to not fret about weather—as though that would made a difference. Silly when I forget.
I feel a bit guilty since we are having autumn in January. It’s strangely, wonderfully warm here. I am soaking it up. I will need the memories to tide me over when it’s time to face the reality of February.
The conditions you photographed would work to make me shiver, but it is the decision to shoot it from inside and show me the window that brings home the story. Bravo!
I have been called a Wise Guy, but not. Wise
. Lol, you should feel no guilt about having warmth–I hope spring is just around the corner for us. I am counting down, six weeks (or so) to go!
And, enjoying the quiet of winter. It makes those moments of looking out our window a gift for us to enjoy.
Absolutely–windows are living, breathing photos of our world!
Oh, I like that phrase. Well done!
