Caught In An Icy Grip

Flakes swirl thick and white past the window, more like a swarm of angry bees than delicate pieces of ice. In a fury they seem to fall swift and fast, intent upon mastering the ground. They cover every possible inch, determined to leave no sign of life or patch of green exposed.
I sit huddled under my blanket, wrapped in a cocoon of warmth and light, watching their determined progress. As still as a statue I am, despite the restless itch that persists underneath my skin. The weather has left us stranded, bound in an icy grip that burns cold and strong. This temporary captivity is no real suffering, but my mind is frantic on thoughts of the future. Why is it that Peter Pan is the only being who doesn't have to grow up?

I think that these are my favorite pictures yet; the snow makes for such a pretty background.

Emily said...

The sled adorned with greens & a bow on your steps is charming! Liking the two looks as well! Also, savvy retail therapy is what I'm all about - if I'm allowing my emotions to dictate my purchases they still need to follow certain rules ;)

Llevo un tiempo siguiéndote y chica, cada vez dices chorradas mayores, así mejor que te lea tu abuela guapita.

Mimi said...

Oh a winter wonderland!
Love the beret.

Brittany Noel said...

Snow makes me feel the same way. I enjoy being inside, snuggled up. But I also think of everything I must be doing! It's hard to slow down sometimes.

You really are doing wonderful things with your hair. I love the hat and the scarf! And all the patterns with Nasha. Very nice indeed :)

Alya said...

I've always been afraid of growing up, but think about it, its inevitable, so we might as well enjoy it!

miss milki said...

Yay! Snow! Its probably not a novelty for you but we don't get much of it here - we'd all love a white Christmas, just like a story book!

I love your hat - its gorgeous!

You reminded me of a childhood picture of me and my sister in matching green and red coats. I had to post about it, come by and see.

You're the perfect example of how to stay chic in the cold.

ambika said...

You should see all of the adults sledding down main city streets (snowboarding, too.) Funny how the snow makes everyone like a kid again.
