Oh Hello Winter!!….mother-f***er…mumble…grumble…

/ Kait King

The wind makes my little cottage shudder and shake, the rain pelts relentlessly on the roof. I can hear the rumblings of thunder as things thrash around on the outside. The palms’ fronds that had died during the summer have now been flung down to earth ungraciously by the howling wind. Not a bird in sight of course, they are smarter than us. I don’t know whether to be slightly afraid or think “fuck it” what can happen? But suddenly I feel like Dorothy. Even though I’ve turned up my TV, the rain is really loud and I can hear the wind still, and the thunder…It sounds like a train coming. I remember someone telling me that earthquakes sound like a train or huge truck bearing down on you. I wondered if the rain was actually hail – it sounded so hard but it just didn’t seem cold enough. I’m snuggling down – battening down those hatches. I think about the poor cows taking a battering in the storm. Nature is so harsh – we have summer and everybody’s happy and then Wham! So this is winter – we will blow the crap outta you, sting your bovine crowd and make things generally miserable.

  1. Kait, this is chef’s kiss unhinged brilliance. ‘Oh Hello Winter…mother-fucker…mumble grumble.’ That’s not poetry. That’s poetry as primal scream. And yes, the birds are definitely smarter. They’re not sitting there wondering ‘should I be afraid or fuck it?’ They just GTFO. But you? You’re in that cottage saying yes to both: terrified AND resigned to the chaos. I love the poor cows tangent too like amidst the apocalypse you’re still thinking about bovine suffering. That’s the mark of someone with a wild, generous heart. Hunker down. You’ve got this. ⛈️💪

  2. haha..yes Winter popped in down here too. Still an icey Antartic wind slicing through the bright summer sun yesterday. Just Nature’s little reminder to make the most of every sun-filled day. Hell, we’ve waited long enough, since May!

  6. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

    • Haha! Not often! Maybe if you consider yourself a ‘winter’ person, or just once in awhile, I think yes….but I am a ‘summer’ person and don’t look forward to the cold at all! Plus where I live it doesn’t snow – just rain and frost….ugh! But I bear it with a grin on my face as I know summer comes! 🙂
