Celebrating Cozy Moments

Sometimes romance doesn’t require planning or effort. Heavy rain cancelled outdoor plans. We rejoiced because the Rocky Mountains needed the precipitation to stave off drought for the southwest, which relies on the Colorado River for water.

I’d planned ahead by stocking the refrigerator and pantry in case a blizzard snowed us in and prevented deliveries. We grilled eggplant, zucchini and red peppers on the patio. Rain pounded a musical beat on the metal roof. A chill breeze came up and we bundled into hats, mittens and thermal jackets. Listening to nature was enough while we snuggled on the loveseat.

The End
