Thursday #295 - Winter Wonderland

[gini]

It is so cold in here - where is everyone? Guess I need to stoke the fire by myself. Should I make coffee first? I think I had better - my fingers are cold.

[Killearn Kitties]

Sleighbells ring, are you listening ...

Don't worry, I'm not going to sing. I'll get the coffee on so we can warm our hands on the mugs. Don't the trees look pretty with the white branches?

[lvpets2002]

Branchs are all still very brown here in Tx.. Come in Orc with that wood for the fire.. Any one for Hot Chocolate with Mellows?? No No Orc not yet not yet.. Oh yes everyone duck Orc has the bag of mellows & throwing them..

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire .....

Some hot cocoa with whipped cream and extra marshmallows would be REALLY good right about now. That's mallow, not mellow, unless you're smoking something and if you are, will you share?

[davidpizzica]

Hot chocolate with 'mallows (if Orc didn't throw all of them away!) will be pefect on a cold, wet, and miserable like there is here in Pittsburgh. If Orc doesn't behave, I'll have to dust off his remote to use on him. He does build a cozy fire, though!

I could use some hot cider about now, and some SNOW! Darn it! All we've got in Allentown, PA is rain!!!!

Virtual snow??

I'll start "decking the halls"...

[Medusa]

No snow here. The temp went up to 49 and melted what we had, then it rained. Now it's cold again so I just got everything ready to light a fire. A friend is coming over this evening and we're going to enjoy some hot chocolate and then wine and cheese and fruit while we catch up on what's been happening in our lives. Anyone care to join us?

[smokey the elder]

The weather here has been VILE for the last two days. I'll have an Irish coffee, please.

[RedHedd]

Sorry everyone. Here in northern California, it's sunny and 70's Not very Christmas-like and we know it won't last. Rain is supposedly coming in to ruin the weekend Xmas shopping

[lvpets2002]

You forget I am a Texann so that mellows to us..

That's mallow, not mellow, unless you're smoking something and if you are, will you share?

We are supposed to get snow later on tomorrow and maybe Saturday. Mind you I think the forecast is calling for about 2-3 inches, but hey, that's alot for us on the Wet Coast.

I'll stoke up the fire. Hey who's bartending??? I could use a hot toddy...and heavy on the toddy....perhaps with bulging muscles and..and...

[RedHedd]

Ooh! Is Toddy here? Slick, will you share?

I'll sit by the fire and share with you Its darn cold up here and its supposed to snow this weekend, and I get to work outside. Im going to take as much time by the fire as I can!
Lime soda for me thanks, and a round of catnip tea for my crew. Through all this stress they have been good kitties.
