Writing = rainy afternoons.<br />Shari, I love foggy days but the damp gets to me, too.Margaret S.

Rainy days here by the shore are just extra unpleasant - so much gray and dampness everywhere. Definitely the time for curling up under an afghan and catching up on reading, with a cup of hot tea at hand.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-24987414612979148812016-10-15T14:41:21.600-04:002016-10-15T14:41:21.600-04:00What an interesting place.

It makes me want to go there.<br /><br />What I do on rainy days is write, read, or other housework that needs done.

Our Michigan house has a steel roof so the rain plinks and plunks in a shower, snare drums in a harder rain, and positively thrums on a downpour.<br /><br />My favorite spot is on our screened porch where there is only a ceiling made of aspen between the metal roof and my hearing. Once the rain ends, I'll get the steady patter as droplets slide down the main roof and fall in a line onto the porch roof.<br /><br />Today is supposed to rain, but be warm (by U.P. standards, which means it will be above 50 degrees) today, so I'll be polyurethaning that very same aspen porch roof.Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-88985378459351537782016-10-15T01:24:09.322-04:002016-10-15T01:24:09.322-04:00What lovely pictures, Margaret, and what an atmosp...What lovely pictures, Margaret, and what an atmospheric blog. There is something enormously appealing about a city that has a pig walking the streets. <br /><br />Right now, I'm living in Florida. Rainy afternoons go with the territory. From May to October you can set your watch by them and plan nothing outdoors between 2 PM and 6 PM. What I love best, though, are rainy nights (thank you Eddie Rabbit). As a dedicated night owl stuck in a lark life, rainy nights are writing time, daydreaming time, explore the depths of the soul time. Rainy afternoons are nap time, reading time, and alas, work time.<br /><br />Hope that your daughter is fully recovered.Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758348842858993203noreply@blogger.com
