Sunrise Epiphany

It is a golden, glorious sunrise this morning, a little chop on the water, not so much as to even make a whitecap, just a ruffle.

It is still COLD. The temperatures for the rest of the week show a slow, gradual warming of both the maximum and minimum temperatures. We may have just seen the worst of winter.

I have pulled out my toastiest Land’s End fleece robe, bought when I lived in a tiny German farm village, where temperatures got low and stayed low. Because my apartment there had in-the-floor heating, we were always too hot! Maybe once a year, in Kuwait, I pull it out to keep me warm. This was the morning. Although it seems like it is getting warmer, the cold seeps into my building through the concrete walls and marble floors, a little colder every day.

The Qatteri Cat has decided not to get up quite yet. “It is too cold,” he complains, as he grabs his baby and goes back to bed.

Dress warmly, and get out to enjoy another glorious day in Kuwait. :-)

  2. How lovely to have a face to the name. lol These days have been quite awful because there is really no where that is uniformly warm. I wear my coat at work and several layers in my apartment. Makes me thankful for central heating during the long Canadian winters!

    Poor AdventureMan – he hates cold as much as you do, Daisy Mae!

  4. Smart kitty! My dog has been sluggish these cold dark rainy mornings. Usually he is the first one up but now he is staying snuggled under the covers until he hears the refrigerator open.

  5. LOL @ Doggie W! I can remember days spent reading under the covers until my place warmed up enough for me to consider getting out of bed! I hear another storm is heading your way, Momcat! Aarrgh!

  6. I think it’s just rain but it’s going to cause flooding. At least I don’t have to shovel it!
