Project 52 / Week 8 / Cabin Fever

This week's photo for our Project 52  assignment was themed Cabin Fever.  [I am #36 this week.  To see my other photos in this project, go HERE.]    Talk about being at a total loss of what to photograph!  The definition for cabin fever is "irritability, listlessness, and similar symptoms resulting from long confinement or isolation indoors during the winter".  Since I live in Florida, this condition does not exist for us except maybe during the rainy season and even then, for only a few days.   In fact, my garden is just about in full bloom.


I decided to interpret the phrase in a different way and just focus on the word cabin.  Our home was built in the 1970s but we have updated some things with color and accents mostly in pastels to make it lighter and a bit more current.  The one room that we have hardly touched and that we absolutely love is our "cabin" room, a/k/a our family room.  It even has wood (real wood) paneled walls which we have never painted or had removed.  We spend most of our group family time together here and guests seem to love this cozy room the most when they visit. It opens into our kitchen and living room, which function together almost as a great room.   So, welcome to our little "cabin" room...  :)


Instead of causing "listlessness and irritability", it tends to soothe the soul and give a warm welcome to all who enter.  When the fireplace is lit (behind the loveseat), it is even more warm and inviting.  

On a much smaller scale, it reminds us of many fun family vacations spent in the cabin below in Tennessee... ahhh... treasured memories.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
