7. I Love ... a Snow Day

Seriously.

I do.

I really, really, really do.

I love it

when the snow is 

whirling and twirling,

and the wind is

growling and howling.

I love it when 

I don't have to second guess
whether to venture out;
when there is absolutely no possibility
 for me to go 

anywhere;

even though I most likely

wasn't going to anyway.

I love it when

I think I shouldn't have to

work

even though

I don't have to leave the house,

which means
 I really don't have a

legitimate excuse.

I love it when 

the woodstove is roaring,

the kettle is hot

and my only mission

is to curl up with a 

book and cuppa.

I love it when

the roads are closed

so NO ONE

can go anywhere;

when everyone is home

Safe & Sound & Warm.

I always loved it when I
was young
and I woke up to
'ALL BUSES CANCELLED'.
I loved that same announcement
 when my kids
were at home.

I guess I have never got over that feeling
of a
SNOW DAY
being a
BONUS DAY.
