21) Winter Cottage

The worst thing about blizzards had to be cleaning up after them. It had to be done, of course, to ensure her cottage wouldn't collapse from the weight of the snow on it and that she would be able to get out of the cottage as needed, but that didn't make Freita enjoy it.

Well, okay, every time she came outside to do it, she did usually spend a few moments simply admiring the picture it made. The peaked roof, covered in snow, icicles all around the eaves... It was stunningly beautiful, and had it been a painting, she would have been in awe of it.

Unfortunately, it was her home, not a painting, so instead of gushing to someone about the pretty picture of the winter cottage, she had to go knock the icicles down with her staff, and then channel magic with her staff to blast the snow off the roof.

Still, she did think she could probably enhance the aesthetic of the cottage just a little if she wanted to... Some of the plants in the area grew bright red berries, and a wreath for the door or shutters could be really pretty... It only took her a few times of cleaning the roof off before she cracked and went to fetch some cuttings so she could make wreaths for herself. She was stuck out here for a few years, she might as well make the place picture perfect.
