BURRRRR...IT'S MONDAY

Just how pretty is the scene above????

Wish I could spent some time there in that beautiful setting!! How peaceful and tranquil it would be, the view, all the white frozen trees, hot cocoa, and a fire inside. I know some don't like winter and the cold, and while it's not my favorite season, I can let myself get swept up in each season's offerings. If it was one season year round, I think I would be bored. And it's cold here today, but the Mistress was warm and snug in bed after a late night at finally......my last holiday party!!!!! Now I can let my hibernation start, sort of. The next two weekends I have guest coming for events at the Raven, but it's faces I haven't seen in some time. Historically you know me. In the winter months I make sure Ms. Moorecock keeps my schedule clear so I can recharge. Meanwhile I will enjoy the days I have left being off. Work that is , not mentally. The rest of the month finds me having random days off to use what's left of 2016's vacation hours, so I will enjoy those as well...in my cave cocooning. Now excuse we, while I toddle off my get the coffee started.

A Happy Monday to All!

  1. It is all so very beautiful...there is nothing any more tranquil than looking out on a blanket of newly-fallen snow that hasn't been disturbed in any way.
    If only I hadn't had to shovel it or drive in it. That's where the fun ended. We still see snow here every few years, but it melts off within a day or so.
    Happy Monday, mistress. Hugs!!!!

    2. Close to getting a renter but that will not keep me in gin since I had to shell out so much for repairs. But I think I can get away with a part time job. Something that doesn't interfere too much with my gin intake. Oh and nothing that makes me show up at the crack of dawn. Ya know? 8 AM or so. I am just rising then. And then I have to lounge. Yep. Can't be anywhere before 11 if you want me to be presentable.

    1. I thinks that is why Joan Crawford used ice on her face after cleansing. It tightened the pores.

    We missed our first [last?] shot at snow last weekend since we were visiting points south. I'm still hoping for at least one snow day!

  17. Happy Monday! I'm enjoying what little sunshine we have left until it starts raining again for 40 days straight. Okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit but not by much. It's supposed to rain 7 days straight starting on Thursday!
