It smells like home today

When sometimes early in the morning
I wake up but am not awake yet
I hear the birds chirping outside
and imagine the cooker's whistle going off
and I transport to a different time
And it smells like home around.

I make myself breakfast
and get ready for work
but I cant get my mind off
the thoughts of happy home.
Sometimes I forget while
I sip on my morning coffee
That I am not at home
and that it is far away.

And I revel in the trance
that I am home and it is wonderful

Flurries today!

Every time I look out the window

My heart makes up words

To explain what I see

And seldom are they really enough

We have flurries today

Oh what a beautiful sight

White cotton balls floating

I wish there were other words to describe.

I love dull & gloomy days

Is that really so bad

I like them sunny too

And whatever way they come.

When it is cloudy,

Soon there will be rain…

And oh I so love the water

And the smell of wet terrain

Or it may snow

Or we could have flurries

And everything looks real nice

Like a happy picture post card.

But you know this already

For I write and I write

About the pretty weather,

Always, all the time.
