Been pourin all day.......................did all the housework by about 10:00, twiddled my thumbs for awhile.....watched the goobers on the news for a while ::)..............so now I'm surfin lol
:-\ :'( how bout three rainy days in a row?
I usually iron, or play in my doll collection, or read. Reading gets the vote today, with a nap afterward. 8) 8)
Girls, girls, girls, it doesn't bother us democrat girls 'cause we have our heads where the sun doen's shine anyway according to another post. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
If you want to escape the rain, come on down to Atlanta, Georgia. We haven't seen it in so long we've forgotten what it's like.
Well, I don't mind rainy days.
As long as they don't last long enough I get "Cabin Fever"
This morning, since it was nasty I decided to tackle my closet and before I could do that I did my dishes,
Made a potato/broccoli/cauliflower soup and also cooked a couple of apples and spruced up the kitchen.
Then I opened the closet door and started rearranging and to see what I could live without.
Well, I think 2 or 3 shirts made it into my Good will sack............and it is neater.
( I do have some trash to go out)
I finished hanging up my panels/drapes in front room and I am ALL DONE>
Next project is going through drawers and doing some paper shredding.
But, that will not be this week.
I am spending the rest of the day on the sofa, in front of the tv with a book.
It is so nice to have that done for a few months.
Now for some sunshine, that they are predicting.
LOL! I was in Georgia some years ago and they were complaining about a drought. It rained twice in the ten days in August that we were there, but they were still having a drought. I got a little kick out of that. But I have heard that your area is suffering a drought. That is a beautiful area north of you in the mountains.
I actually an odd-ball, apparently. I do love the rain. Now, I do hate COLD rainy days that feel like it could turn to snow at any moment. But I love summer rain and rainy days. But I agree that cabin fever sets in around Day 3... last summer during the flooding I was so cooped up that I took out to El Dorado to do some shopping... and almost couldn't make it home! They shut down Hwy 400 and I had to go to Eureka and down to get home! That's what I get for not heeding my hubby's advice. I love to shop on rainy days b/c it doesn't bother me at all, but no one else wants to get out so the stores are empty!
Lol, Tobina..I have a bad habit of playin in the rain, I've been known to put on my swimmin suit and take my shampoo outside and stand under the rain spout and wash my hair in a downpour lol. Yesterday was just one of them days I had stuff to do I couldn't do in the rain without gettin stuck or tearin somthin up lol
Pam, I have you beat........
Back in the 80's I think about 81 the temps had been over 100 for days (it felt like months)
We lived on a rural property in Busby (the old binegar place, I think, just west of Red Johnson's place)
no one was around, I don't know where they all were, but I had the house and property to myself when
it started raining and it did break the heat.....
well, let me tell you I striped and headed out the back door and with a bar of soap stood under the roof where the rain was coming down like a waterfall and let me tell you..............that was the coldest shower I had ever had........but, HE HE, it felt wonderful after all that heat.
I told you we had no neighbors and if anything was moving out there, well too bad, I got some relief.............and that is my story.
I did do that one more time, but it wasn't as big a deal as the first time.
Oh, I did pay for it, all the black stuff off the roofing tile got in my hair and I had to go in and rewash my head..........
Nice memories............thanks
Lol Judy, You go!
Oh you ladies, telling things like that will draw more people to the country life then all the economic developement ever hopes too...thanks for the great sharing of good clean fun!
Lol, Whatever we can do to help! ;)
They don't call us RED NECKS for nothing.........we do earn the title..........and I for one
am proud of it.........LOL!
How about sending some of that rain to Arizona..... haven't seen any in months except huge dust storms. This is getting like the Dust Bowl in the thirties.... :laugh:
No rain here either in California. We have been on fire since June and just now getting into fire season.

If there were a little less hot air, there might be less dust and more rain! ;) ;)

I'll send you all my extra rain for the next month or so... I don't have any crops to worry about and my garden is done for the year. I may have to wait till it freezes to get it in the little square boxes though. I had FROST on my car window this morning, so I am officially ready for Spring to start again.
Actually, I love the rain when it's warm outside, especially when I don't have to worry about the roof leaking or livestock staying safe.

Joanna that sounds like a good day to bake some Persimmon cookies. ;) I waiting to hear how things come out. The Asian Persimmons in my neighborhood are just getting some color. I will need some hints on what to do when they get ripe.

We had a little frost this morning as some of my plants show a little sickness. In particular the decorative sweet potatoes.

Will no wonder your sweet potato's are sick. They probably heard Obuma's infamous speech about his love for sweet potato pie.

Hmmmm...seems like the dirt roads are full of hot air lately! lol
I HATE rainy days too...especially when you have to walk 15 miles in it and can't sit around and keep dry. Great chilly rain the past couple of days...But the mail must go through!
Warph, you just keep on talking..I like to hear it!!
