When
experiencing cabin fever, a person may tend to have distrust of anyone they are
with…
…and an urge to
go outside even in the rain, snow, dark or hail.
Hey. Wasn't it around here that the
Donner Party got snowbound?
One therapy for
cabin fever may be as simple as getting out and interacting with nature.
Research has
proven that even brief interactions with nature can promote improved cognitive
functioning and overall well-being.
Temperatures
were warmer today than they were all week but the deep cold left the river frozen. The big trumpeter swans who usually swim in
the shallows had probably gone to a nearby creek fed by a warm spring.
The
cross-country ski track was under several inches of new powder. There were recent footprints in the tracks,
probably left by the two coyotes I saw trotting along across the river.
Harriman Ranch
looked like a picture from a Christmas card.
Some places are like people: some
shine and some don't.
It’s amazing how
a little fresh air and a blink or two of sunshine can cause an attitude
adjustment.
Guess I won’t be
taking an ax to DH at least this week.
Redrum! Redrum!
You almost make winter seem nice.
ReplyDeleteActually I love the Winter and I love the cold and the snow...within reason, I just wish Winter would end February 15 and go straight to May!
That looked wonderful! I resemble the first photo this week...sad I missed the wild life watchin.
ReplyDeleteGetting out into nature that looks like that would make anybody feel better! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh you know I would be right there with you it is so beautiful. I would be snowshoeing not cross country though:) Heading out right now Later:) Hug B
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear he's safe for now.
ReplyDeleteI would not have made it a day in any cross country expedition before, say railroads, and I doubt even then.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of winter also. I sick of not being able to get all the stuff done I need to get done...I do love my afternoon walks. You are right, they help!

I will file this information away as an antidote for cabin fever.
ReplyDeleteI do love your photos, very much! Lovely! I would not want to be in them though...you are right, one MUST get outdoors and that is why Dexter is great for me...especially since he is taking diuretics, he has to go out every 20 minutes, Rain, ice, wind, whatever...I would welcome cabin fever, I am thinking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, that movie completely freaked me out!
