“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
– Edith Sitwell
Sitting in the shared rooms – lounge and dining rooms and working from home today as the thunderstorm finally beckons this afternoon. Three dogs are asleep in the bedroom, where they can see the world outside through the window, hearing the strange sounds, rabbits passing by, and birds flying by, and be on guard for Jean, who is deaf with disabilities. Jean worked through the right side of her neck down to the right side of the shoulder blades as she has had Cervical Spine Degenerative Radiotherapy for many years. Jean faced the impossible challenge of getting back to a regular routine around home and working from Autumn to Spring.
June marks the beginning of the Winter season, and Spring is not far away, despite global climate change being at its worst and with no action taken to preserve the global climate.
The Cherry trees in the Cherry Trees field, turning orange, golden brown, and red, are an incredible sight of the Autumn to Winter seasons. The vibrant colours of the leaves, the crispness in the air, and the anticipation of Winter make this a truly magical time. Early flowers, such as Erlicheer and Daphne, show signs of Autumn-Winter flowering in the extensive gardens and fields.
Jean prepared the fire for fire heating through the cold night and decided to cook a warm meal, such as an Irish casserole.
“What could the weather bring tomorrow or the day after?” Jean ponders, a sense of intrigue filling the air.
