Frosty limbs outstretched
hands of red, gold and saffron
float down to stroke earth.

Inspired by memories of my Dad excitedly dragging me outside — on a frosty morning — to appreciate the autumn foliage on his Maple tree. In Far North Queensland, deciduous trees and their foliage were rare and quite the treat!

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 “winter blues.”
