If winter had a song it would be deep and slow.
A song that gets carried around in coat pockets,
slowly warming cold fingers.
A lone violin, a methodical drum.
Music that gives pause and time for reflection.
A song with the sounds of muffled whispers, crunching footsteps
and grainy long grey shadows.
A solo tune that echoes into the dark night
music that is slowly swayed to in colourful knitted socked feet,
and listened to on plump fluffed up blankets.

Lovely, slightly melancholy words and photos on a day that is very grey and windy at our place!

Oh Brydie you have just described the quiet dark snowy rainy and windy days we’ve had here…minus the crackling of burning firewood and my painful splinters. Love all the photos and especially the middle how it gives a sense of place.

Zena I would happily add the crackling sound of burning firewood along to the song of winter…if only I had a fireplace.
(Hope those splinters sort out.)

Again, lubbly jubbly Ms CityHippyFarmgirl and a good reminder to get out there crunching those dry autumn leaves and breathing out that slow winters song in huffs π
