Comforts

frost lays on the ground
this morning...  the
temperatures plummet,
winter replaces fall,
clothes are unpacked early,
a woodstove no longer
provides our warmth or
our means to cook food...
indoor plumbing changed
that years ago and we
became more sophisticated,
cats lay on heated blankets
like dogs laying on wooden
porches in the summer heat,
trying to remember the recent
days when humidity could not
really be avoided...  but, better
than remaining inside...
short lived dreams are the
felinme's specialty as naps
occur throughout the day and
avoiding others is the only way
to prevent trips to the vet...
floor vacuums clean regardless
of the temperatures and hold 
their charges quite well...  it is
a new day in this land of
opportunity that does not change
its course of action just because
it is too cold for our comforts.
