Shall I make a cup of tea ?

IMG_6928 Should I put the kettle on? Outside it's blowing a gale of fast falling fat snow flakes................... They're dancing, I'm going to call it the 'flurry dance'. It's mesmerising, and wonderful to watch from the warmth of this room. Now the sky has gone white, so white, it's like a light switch was flicked, and the white has created bright. I'm actually sitting here, contemplating the gentle snow storm, and trying to gear myself up to take the dogs out for their walk................. Ah, there's a lull. Now's my opportunity............... Ellie, Douglas, walkies..................... I'll have a steaming hot cup of tea when I return.

Could I have a hot chocolate please? I'm torn between lighting the fire and snuggling before collecting the girls or actually working. Snow has a soporific effect I think. Enjoy your walk.

Did the lull last long enough?! I bet the dogs were going to let you off for the day! Did they get hot milk? t.xx

If it was snow you wanted, why didn't you say so???? I would've been so happy to send some your way! We've had over 120" already this season here in upstate NY, USA!
I've had to shovel my back yard for my little Harley! Finally, the past 2 days have been above freezing.
Stay warm. How's Douglas' paw doing?
