It rains. I can hear the soft sound of little drops against the window and their drumming
on the last colorful leaves of the hibiscus and small trees.
I dream of punsch, cinammon-honey chai and warm hugs with cold noses touching.
“I hate the cold. It´s awful!” my colleague tells me and sighs. I lift my head from my hands and wonder: Is it really awful?

Rain and snow are the best excuses to stay home for me. Drink hot chocolate. Read fabulous books.
The early darkness has its reason: candles. Soft light in the bedroom. Aroma therapy with romantic atmosphere.
Oh gosh, how I love autumn and winter. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I was born in decembre,
but the cold season hardly ever puts negative thoughts into my head.

I never paint as much as in these months now, because in summer and spring I rather go out and take photos,
swim and eat ice cream.
This may sound trivial, but I will have my word about that topic too.

When it is cold outside, I excessively listen to Fat Freddy´s Drop, especially to this song:

And come to think about ear muffs and scarfs! Most of the cute accessoires wait for me now as it turns freezy.

Most of us are conditioned and influenced by others. Winter is bah, cold is bah, darkness is bah.
I don´t think so. Get your own opinion about this. Our friends, the trees and plants are on vacation, they need their break too.
Have some hot chocolate with cream and put your feet into hot water. Aaaah, winter is so good.
