The Clouds Rolled In

Today found itself wrapped in a warm cloak of clouds. Fog filled in the valley in shades of morning blue, afternoon white, and evening grey. It rained, and froze, and my little world became one of icy glass. Safely off the road, I took comfort indoors with a pane of glass between me and the mess. A beautiful mess though. I looked out my window at one point and the mountain that normally rises beyond was gone. All I saw was white. The fog may have "come in on little cat feet" but it knew enough magic to move mountains. :) As the evening ducked behind the invisible hills, and night came swiftly in, I poured myself a cup of coffee and continued to observe the day from my cozy home. My remaining colored lights outside twinkled beyond their water droplets and passers by leaped like ballerinas over the ever-growing puddles. I could almost picture Spring for a moment, but then smiled as I remembered tomorrow's forecast: 100% chance of snow. Ah yes, it is still January. There are many more cozy days ahead for coffee and magic...
