Winter Lady
Song by Leonard Cohen

Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I’m just a station on your way
I know I’m not your lover
Well, I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder
She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she’d weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway
Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I’m just a station on your way
I know I’m not your lover

@shoelady60,

Good evening so sorry about all the snow. Lady it is cold just about everywhere.
Oz is in the low 20’s and we may hit the teens during the night. Now worries
Poppy is in his nice warm and so will me and hubby. 💕🎈

The Game was a good one I was surprised to see Patrick play today once I saw
him I knew it would be alright. Lady we play your team on Christmas Day. 🎈💕😘😎
All I can say is may the best team win. 🎈

So glad everyone is enjoying the season.

Long night for sure but so warm. 😎

Sweet Dreams. 😘

@taci,

Good Evening and I am glad you found the post interesting. I read the Diary of Anne Frank
in school. This young lady was wise for her years. I don’t know if you remember when
Bichon our friend in Florida went to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam? I remember
her saying she could not believe the tiny space they lived in and almost made it. Bichon
had a good cry. I did too every time I read her diary/book all thanks to her Father who
found it and had it published. So sad.

Very cold in OZ tonight low 20’s and may get colder. I have some beautiful and warm
throws I am using on all the sofas and chairs even the bed. 😎💕

Poppy had a Vet appointment today and he is doing great just a planned routine
visit and next week he get’s groomed. 😘🎈This morning Poppy’s girlfriends were
out and about and they was happy to see him. I even went to the back fence line
and played with all of them. Poppy has a special spot that he can run to. 🎈This spot
is for extreme cold and Ice heavy snow too. I have to rescue him if the snow is too deep.

Welcome to the Winter Solstice. 🎈💕

Season’s Greetings. 🎈

Hubby is getting warm by the fireplace we are now in the low 20’s. Welcome to
Winter Solstice and yeah it’s cold all over. 💕😘

Oodie enjoy your evening and I can’t believe I am saying this to you in Florida and that
is to stay warm. 💕😎I would curl up with a good book and some warm tea with Manuka
Honey. 💕I would also add a bit of cheese and crackers if that is good for you.
