Winter Is Here
A Tale Inspired By The Painting 'Winter' by Edgar Ende, 1938
Introduction
I love this image of winter that I found on The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here:
The music is "White Winter Hymnal" by The Fleet Foxes
Winter Is Here
She is carrying water through a wilderness. The trees have no leaves. They fell in autumn.
The pillar has no chain. Was some creature of the Winter God tethered there? Who knows. The sky is white, like a great swan; other strange black shadow birds fly above the lady, to warmer climes.
She walks in the land forever, impervious to the cold, carrying her bowl to a friend in need of sustenance.
Her journey has a focus, but no end.
She is a white walker in the white snow-covered realm of Winter.
No flowers grow here, and no animals run; only the black migrating birds while the Winter Swan looks on, over this white world.

Goeiemorgend, Luister Naar De Draaien
Introduction I found this beautiful image on Debbie's Magical Brew below. I thought Goeiemorgend was the artist and "Luister naar de kraaien" was the name of the painting, but Goeiemorgend means "Good Morning" and "Luister naar de kraaien" means Listen To The Crows.

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to βwinter blues.β
