cold November morning…

Posted on by Prior...

Brrrrr…..

I looked around the dark room

from under the flannel

cozy and warm

appreciating home

on this cold November morn!

The coffee downstairs

called to me…

 tiptoeing down

on chilly floors

 greeted by wagging tails

waiting to go outdoors…

Into my coffee

Went a hint of cocoa

mmm and mmm

Then I remembered my brother’s visit

family was visiting today!

I smiled…

because I realized

This cold November morn

was actually quite WARM.

Warm indeed.

I have been trying to write at least once a day in my paper journal during 2014 – and this was written early this morning – as I sipped some Kona java.

This post is linked to Kan’s joy is… challenge – because joy is when family stops by for a short visit while on their road trip from Buffalo down to Florida.

Have a nice Tuesday – and I hope you find a few little joys throughout your day….

    1. thanks CP4 – and coffee may just help you pump out that novel this month!! and we just got a complimentary bag of Kona – when you buy so many bags they give you a free one of your choice and chose that one – and it is smooth…. happy writing amigo

  2. There is nothing so heartwarming as sitting around with family with a cup of Joe on a cold morning (especially if you’ve been separated for a while.)

    1. well I also really enjoy black coffee too – but a teaspoon of cocoa powere with a splash of 1% milk – it becomes a tasty- all natural mocha! ❤

      Plus – the cocoa offers more than just taste – the cocoa powder (as I am sure you know) has those rich flavonoids, which are antioxidants and have many health benefits and can make one feel satisfied – but too much can wire one up too.. 🙂

    I wish I could send you some of our heat, it is still only late spring but it is hot as Hades…
    Enjoy your family.

    1. well Pomme – I would take some of that heat and snatch it up if I could – especially for the folks stranded on the new York State Thruway right now – which is North of where we are – but they got 5 feet of snow in some areas. … 🙂

    I could smell it from here… 🙂 for decades, first thing in the morning before I "articulate" a single word: 1 mug of black(dark) coffee, no sugar, no milk, but 2-3 squares of dark(bitter) chocolate(at least 75% cocoa!)… my ONLY coffee/day! 🙂

  13. I was smiling to myself as I started out with the beans, Yvette. In the week Gemma sent me a photo of coffee beans in an owl shape with two cups of coffee for eyes. Very cool! 🙂 Hope you enjoyed the family visit.

  22. The morning wake up call and the aroma of coffee permeating the clean atmosphere and testing the nostril…the coffee beans and the touch of it builds the excitement for the hot sip…

    You have beautifully used the simple words , and have made the flow and the flavor of words very poetic and the magnified picture of the bean, the powder and final the coffee in the cup…is a story by itself.
