Day 4: Kickin' It Old Skool Blog-a-Thon

Weather Wednesday: What's the weather like where you live today?

"It is blowin' a gale out there" to quote a line from The Royal Tennenbaums, one of my favourite movies. I'm not sure if it's still raining. It poured last night, but I can't hear the rain lashing the roof and windows, so it has probably stopped. I can hear the wind though. It is HOWLING around the house. I'm warm and cozy by the roaring wood stove in the living room, feeling extremely safe and content.

    I haven't seen that movie in YEARS~ as I recall it was pretty good.
    We are expecting heavy rains as the weekend rolls near. Enjoy the wood stove !

      Thanks! Hope you stayed warm over the weekend. I've been crazy-busy, but figure responding late is better than never :-)

    Hopefully the winds die down for you....a gentle rain would be so much nicer!

      Now we're getting snow - I preferred the rain - even with the wind!

    Howling winds, a roaring fire... add some hot chocolate and a book and I'd call that nirvana.

      I bought some mini-marshmallows and hot chocolate at the store yesterday. Let the winds howl!

    I do not miss that kind of weather. I much prefer the milder winter weather where I am. There are times when I'd like a fire but the howling winds, the possibility of snow? I'll pass ;)

    Sounds lovely, sitting by the fire...sigh. I hope you have a good book and a nice cup of tea (or some other favorite drink).

    Ah, you make it sound so warm and cozy inside, and beautiful if stormy outside...

    I love the smell of wood stoves! We have a gas fireplace, but even that is so cozy on cold days like today. Stay warm!

      Thanks! I have lots of birch in my woodpile and the bark smells particularly awesome when it burns :-). Enjoy your cozy stove!
