What a beautiful Groundhog Day morning…
Handsome and I slept in just a touch,
the perfect end to a sweet, fun Saturday together.
We carried mugs of perfect coffee outside for a quick little Hot Tub Summit,
when the ground was still bare and the skies still clear, if dim and gray.
As we soaked our bones and reflected on our dose of weekend romance,
the snow flirted with us and cast a delicate snow globe spell.
That muffled silence… I just love it.
Then suddenly the winds whipped up.
It sliced through our faces, ending Hot Tub Summit pretty quickly.
We sprinted the twenty yards or so from the hot tub to the kitchen door
And changed happily into warm, comfy clothes. Nowhere to travel today.
I should mention here that Handsome volunteered to do
every bit of the animal feeding today.
This is extra luxurious for yours truly.
In just minutes the snowy flirtation progressed to a full on assault.
The farm quickly dressed herself in white, every surface rapidly accumulating
piles of broad, fluffy snowflakes.
Absolutely beautiful.
I’m not the least bit discouraged by the groundhog’s wintry prediction today.
This “six more weeks” business is no problem.
Spring will descend in her perfect time, in her gentle ways.
Until then, there are seeds to order and books to read.
There is cuddling to do and love to enjoy.
We have six more weeks to count the blessings of this past season.
Happy snowy Sunday, friends. Especially those of you here in Oklahoma with us.

Marie at the Lazy W says
Oh thank you sweet Rose! I’m so glad you’re cuddling up today too. xoxo
Christine says
You always make me long for a romantic, cozy farm, even though I know I’d go crazy soon enough. Miss you beautiful girl (Handsome, not so much!)
Marie at the Lazy W says
Would you go crazy? I could stay here almost forever, groceries and toiletries notwithstanding, LOL
So is Handsome feuding with HR again? haha
Thanks for stopping by Christine, it would be great to see you! xo

Phil is never wrong….
Marie at the Lazy W says
Gotta respect the critters. No worries.
Rebekah Loper says
It seems once the snow decided it wanted to move in, it sure did so fast! Stay warm!
Marie at the Lazy W says
Indeed! Thanks for stopping by, Rebekah! Hope you’re staying cozy, too. xo
Shel Harrington says
It is, indeed, a beautiful snow day in Oklahoma today! Hard to imagine a hot-tub start. I’m with ya on the cuddling (I’m thinking flannel nightshirt here) finish! Have a great week, Marie!
Marie at the Lazy W says
Haha I’m noticed to flannel cozy stuff. Not one bit. A very happy week to you too, Shel! xoxo thanks for visiting.
