Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever. Man, do I have a full-blown case of it. For some reason I thought I would avoid it this year, but, no. Here it is mid-February and I am starting to feel that overwhelming need to get outside, see green grass and blue sky and feel the sun on my skin. I'm feeling that heaviness that can weigh you down this time of year. I keep hearing a little voice in my head repeating "A body in motion stays in motion...don't sit down...if you do, you'll be there til April!" I get outside everyday, of course, there are animals to take care of, but it's cold and dark and gloomy so much of the time.

That pale, barely there, light in the sky? That would be the sun. OK, it is still very pretty...it's just this Cabin Fever making me negative! ;)

 Everyday is a winding road. Well, actually, here it's more of a straight, hilly one.

We love to play in the snow, but -12 is a little cold to be out here for long.

I do like the way the silence seems so loud in the snow.

 How many days is it til May when this will be full of green grass and cows?

I've been knitting when it's just too cold to stay out any longer. I've noticed I'm gravitating toward yellow yarns!

I guess the fact that I'm still enamored with the beauty out here means my case of Cabin Fever must not be terminal. And that Basil from a couple posts back? It's coming up nice and green. I might go stare at it for awhile before bed, then maybe dream of Spring!

How about you, are you sooooo ready for Spring?
