Sequestered, Week 244 (CCXLIV)


From mild days and rain to bitterly cold days, high winds, ice everywhere and several inches of snow forecast for today. This must be December, and I must be parked in the storm tossed highlands of eastern Ontario.

Weather notwithstanding, I take my first tea of the day (Darjeeling) out onto the deck and pose it in a snowdrift. The colors are pleasing, and I take one or two photos before my fingers turn numb, and I decide to retreat indoors. 

Once indoors, I pop my mug in the microwave, light a nice, smelly holiday candle (spiced chestnut) and switch on my reading lamp,. Then I locate my red shawl and pick up a good book. Sequestered? Oh yes, we are.
