Comfort is. . .

. . .a cozy place to curl up with a book while, outside, it rains and rains.

Books and fireplaces and big, soft chairs are the antidotes to cold and wet.

With a companion or without,

by lamplight or by firelight,

in a quiet corner or a wide open room,

grab your favorite throw, a big stack of books and stay inside for a while.

Record rainfall. Blizzard-like conditions in our local mountains. Flooding and mudslides. Even a funnel cloud or two. Treacherous driving conditions. High winds and intermittent hail. This is quite a storm we're having in Southern California. Don't worry about me though. I'll be working right here at home. And when my work is done, I'll be curled up with a book.

Have a safe and warm weekend.
