She was so lovely with her cool complexion and images of what was to come.
Curled up by the glow of the fire with a creamy hot chocolate.
Snuggling in my favourite chair (when I can get it away from the cats.)
Fighting with the cats over the wool while I knit. Reading the books I have been stocking up on. Watching my endless collection of old movies, especially the Thin Man.
But as enticing as this beautiful lady was I suddenly felt a warm breeze as the Goddess Autumn came dancing across the yard with her abundance of fiery leaves trailing after her. I said a quick goodbye to The Winter Goddess but not for long, I am sure she will be knocking at my door again soon for a long visit.
I LOVE that movie! Used to watch it over and over again on The Million Dollar Movie.
ReplyDeleteWinter can come as long as there a good fire in the fireplace or wood stove, something hot to drink, and a good movie! (and something to knit)
Love that Goddess Autumn came back to visit you.
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautiful wordsmith, Sue. My grandmother was a huge Thin Man fan. Sometimes my sister and I would sit up late at night and watch an episode and I would roll her hair in bobby pins. Thank you for that treasured memory, my friend.
