Dreary Rain.

We had 2 days of rain on Friday and

Saturday. It was so welcome as our

region has begun to have fires due to

the dry landscape. The first day, I did

love the coolness and the sound. The

second day, it was much darker and

quite gloomy, or dreary as I've titled

this post. Out came our new tea pot

and the coziness of our cottage set in.

But once the rain had stopped, we

enjoyed the most amazing Sunday

with warm air and blue skies. And

blooms everywhere! Maybe you can

see the bright green little buds in the

picture above. Today, it's another blue

sky day but now the green is vast.

Do you love rainy days?

Or are they dreary and cold?

Where is the Sun?

We've had weeks of fog and overcast

skies. Some rain, very little snow.

It's so gloomy. Not quite festive enough

to be Christmasy. Not quite Fall any more.

A bright spot this afternoon. We finished

our little gravel path to the front door. The

recycled tire Celtic designed stepping

stones are covered in the tiny bit of snow

we received over night. Love our little wavy

path. And now with the solar lights, there

is some brightness in these dark, foggy days.

Thankfully, it's supposed to be hot tomorrow!

Under the Weather.

Woke up this morning feeling like the little creature above. I feel like the weather outside: dreary, rainy, and blustery, with no sun in sight today. Aching head, shivering from feeling cold, then sweating from feeling hot, scratching, flemy throat, sore chest. The worst part is everyone has gone to work and I'm home alone with the puppies. Just me and the puppies .... and I can't get the Tylenol bottle open! I'm off to work in a bit to teach preschool this morning. Will take the bottle with me so my colleague can crack it open for me. Thankfully, we have the most comfortable couches on site. My lunch time plan is to nap between classes!

I hope your day is much better and your world is sunny and warm.
