home turf has changed into snow. everything seems unreal, it's hard to comprehend the change of location and the distance between here and there. sleep deprivation plays its part here, three poorly slept nights topped with staying more or less awake for 24 hours while in transit is draining to say the least. i didn't have the smoothest trip home, but that's just typical.
the lack of fallen trees surprised me in the woods, i expected more storm damage. one very special trunk had given in, though, my enoki tree... i was not too happy to see that. but i found comfort in the forest, powdery snow swathing everything into its quiet and peaceful lull, the trees welcoming me back.
