Fog In the Night

In the misty shadows of winter on the edge of darkness snow gathered silently a hush settled over the land warmer temperatures produced fog eerily it slowly crept forward wrapping and winding itself creating a warm blanket making all invisible to sight thick with moisture it grabbed it's fingers wound around pulling covers over the land like a snug weighted blanket it refused to throw off the covers making sure all was down for the night.

You make it sound warm though it was freezing, but maybe that is what nature wants in Winter a Winter blanket - look at the Igloos how cozy they can be? Hugs and blessings Phyllis. Jennifer.

It is considered warm when it is less than -10C and freezing. It has been a mild winter so far and I am thankful for that as you can go outside and enjoy nature. Have a wonderful day. love phyl
