PROMPT March 23rd What is the best way to spend a rainy afternoon? What to do on a rainy afternoon? That's easy! As soon as drops start to splash on the windows or hit the pavement I jump - yes, literally jump- into rain mode. Honestly I get excited when it rains. Living in Northern California means that we haven't seen a lot of rain this year. Or any year for that matter. It's sun, sun, sun. Beautiful weather, yes, but it would be so nice to get some rain. Anyway, back to rain mode. I have a list of favorite things to do: 1. Curl up with a good book (mystery, of course) and a cup of hot tea. 2. Snuggle in bed with a warm blanket, the dog, the cat, and of course the hubby. 3. Cook a hug pot of soup that simmers on the stove for most of the day. 4. Bake cookies and muffins and whatever else suits my fancy. 5. Grab an umbrella and go out for a walk just to savor the heavenly smell of the rain. 6. And the mostest bestest favorite is to retreat to my craft room. There's always something going on in there. For me, the rain is an opportunity to retreat. To think deep. To wash away the old and start fresh again. For me, a rainy afternoon is always welcome. |
