The winds cut through my skin
These old bones begin to shake
I can feel the cold within
Chattering, my teeth
As they play a musical tune
“Summertime” I hear them say
And it can’t come too soon
Age has taken hold of me
I like the cold no more
So I’ll curl up by the fireplace
Let it warm me to the core
Writing Prompt – Bitter Bones – Day 31/31 ~ And this completes Michelle’s writing prompts for December. Bring on the New Year!

Didn’t we just talk about the cold? We have such warm temperatures over here today. It is that weather condition where we have those warm winds. They are still high up but we feel the warmer air anyway. A beautiful day like in early spring. I went outside without a jacket enjoying the sun!

All is well, Dorinda! I did not experience the worst part of the storm since it was heavier in Liechtenstein than in Vienna. But as far as I know our house was not damaged and that crane (which is still positioned in front of our house) is still standing. Others broke down… scary!

Thank you very much! Thank God there were not too many damages (aside from the woods). But most important, I don’t think someone was harmed – at least over here. 💖
