The north wind is picking up here ,and changing our balmy warm January into Old man winter's finest over the next day or so. Prompted me to write this ;
Bright red
ears and windblown hair
Yup it’s
getting fresh out there
The north
wind blows in with its might
And temperatures
drop over night
And out we
go to frozen noses
Cheeks as
red as summers roses
As winter
give its bitter nip
Makes me
want to take a trip
To places
where the sun is shining
Tropical drinks
and outdoor dining
I love it
here, don’t get me wrong
But some
days the winter seems so long
As I come in
at end of day
And get my
dinner underway
I get a good warm
fire burning
While for
the spring my heart is yearning
But I can take
it this I know
Its 3 more
weeks till Mexico!

Boy, don't we all feel that way about now! But we don't all have Mexico to look forward to ;-)
Sure like the lookin forward to Mexico part!!! Should be a perfect time, be startin to warm up when ou get back (hopefully!)
Nothing like a tropical vacation to look forward to on the bleakest days of winter! Love the poem.
Oh I love this. Mexico sounds like fun and warm:)
Thank you for your comments on my blog, I really appreciated hearing your story, I have been there many times and I think I may just be getting a little too old for this:) B
"Cheeks as red as summers roses" -- love that line. I'd call it a very relevant simile.
Ouch! You know how to hurt a guy that's left behind. Mexico? Isn't that a warm place?
Send some of that weather our way please :)
LOL!
Perfect ending.
Warmed me right up:)
ha! I absolutely love the ending! Having fun catching up on your blog this afternoon.
Friend, I don't think I ever told you how much I truly love your book. I kept wanting to write a 'review' or whatever on my blog, and never seem to get around to doing one that does justice to it---fact of the matter is, that book is so relatable it just fills me up to read it. Thank you, thank you for sharing some of your gift. It's a blessing to others!
