The sounds of slush fill your ears. You watch as the misty fog escapes your mouth anytime you take a breath. With every breath a frigid prickle enters your lungs. Around you are naked trees covered in powder white snow. Glistening icicles hang off the branches creating a Winter Wonderland.
PERFECT for staying inside and dreaming of a tropical paradise cuddled up in a warm blanket with a cup of hot coco ….. start a fire...watch it light up with orange flames …. listen to the fire crackling …. smell a sweet aroma of burning wood ….let it the fire your hands.
… and pick up a book to read.
