A Snowy Day

It's snowing today! It's kind of a sleety snowfall. I'm glad that I don't have to go out and drive on the roads. My assignment for this morning was cancelled so I've been home keeping warm, and reading. I have a cold so I had chicken soup for lunch and beforehand had a cup of tea with lemon and honey. The cats are napping. Sandy is on the wing chair and Coco is under the footstool. The fireplace is on and Christmas music is playing. The drapes have been opened so we can watch the snowfall outside. I'm fighting the sleepy feeling which is coming over me. It would be a good idea to take a rest since I'm also fighting a cold, but I don't want to sleep my afternoon away. I've been awake and up since 5:15 a.m. this morning. It's amazing how fast the day goes even when you are up early. I went out this morning at 6:45a.m. to pick up some milk and cat food. Decided to do that before the snow started to fall. I'm grateful for the local convenience store only a few blocks away. When I need something in a "pinch", that's where I can go. There don't seem to by many birds out side the door hopping around in the snow. I can see a few on top of a distant tree.
Coco has awakened from her nap. She's now sitting at my feet. Sandy is still sleeping. I have a book to get back to so I'll sign off for now. "An Irish Country Christmas" awaits me.
