Thanks for the heads up Damian. I’m a little rusty since I’m just getting back to writing.
Always appreciate your feedback sir. Hope you have a great new year! -

The Cailleach’s time of year is indeed a difficult one for many of us, my friend. When the sky refuses to wear that magnetic blue I love, I regrettably find myself “Winter Whining” as well haha. Your writing style and images here are akin to a cheekier Robert Louis Stevenson. Thank you for superbly poetizing your winter woes!

Thank you very much Clay, I appreciate your comment.
The weather in the Central valley of California has been pretty much the same. I can count the number of sunny days from the past 3 months and the morning fog seems to get worse. But either way, it allows me to observe and express this “seasonal depression” which isn’t too bad.
Hope you’re doing well.

Oh boy, do I relate to this one! I would say spring is coming, but there’s 2 things about that…allergies if it does come; and no guarantee it will. We’ve talked our environment to the point that nothing is solid and predictable. I totally get this one

Yeah, the allergies are a pain. I love winter and spring (the summers are too hot where I live) and the spring only lasts for a couple of weeks before the heat takes over.
Thank you for stopping by for a read and do hope you’re doing well.

Same crim. The fog has been really bad lately, I had to drive slower in the morning on the way to work.
Hope all is well.

Sorry to hear you’ve been sick. This weather can be so difficult for some of us, but I know the California weather doesn’t compare to the harshness everyone has been experiencing everywhere else. Hope you’re feeling better by now.

“Because some are more loyal than others. ” I think more are easier to break and make them follow than being loyal. I read animal farm. I like the use of the idea here

Thank you Fia. Yes the loyal part also works. I just re-read sometime ago and I was watching a drum corps program that dealt with the same issue about being equal, so that theme stuck with me.
Always appreciate your comments and hope you have a wonderful new year.

Thank you Damian.
Yes, the pig theme from the music and the book (along with the image) just felt like they all tied together in a way.
Hope you have a great new year sir.

Excellent. I think I know of this pig and his followers. There may be other interpretations, but I gravitate toward the one that has this swine in the highest of high positions. I shall try to eat more fish.

Greetings Sam, yes you are exactly correct, let alone the latest comment made toward a woman by calling her just that. I think the majority of us feel this frustration (and anger), anxiety just to name a few.
Hope you have a great new year.

hi crim, hope you’re doing well. Thank you. Yes, it’s difficult to find a soul mate in today’s world, even though her and I went through different paths for a decade we found each other again. Hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you a happy new year.

Cleverly penned, Wally. Excellent write my friend. You had a couple of typo’s:
“Thus, I take up this quill and spill the ink to past the time” I think you mean “pass”
“Bu it’s fitting” this is the other.
Appreciate you
Damian
