It’s another rainy day here. And an unexpected day off for me.
I can’t remember the exact weather forecast when I shared it on Monday. However, this morning they showed 3 days in a row with 100% chances of rain. Does not do much for my outdoor gardening plans. They also had to cancel/reschedule yesterday’s preschool graduation because of the weather (it’s an outdoor thing).
We’re just hanging out indoors watching it rain today. Well, just the two of us. The cat is the only one home with me. A bit of rainy day bliss to be home alone for a change.
Lit a candle, a beach scented one I picked up at Aldi. My plans for this rainy day now that I’m free for the afternoon?
Nothing too exciting. I’ve been working on slowing down. It comes naturally to many of you (and many preschool kids, especially when time is of the essence, ha!). However, it doesn’t come naturally to me. Lots of reminding myself there is enough time in the day to get the things done that need doing. Just stumbled across this article, seems to sum up where I’d like to be on the slowdown journey.
I blame my late mother! Not really. Well, maybe. I think I inherited her “city” blood. For me, there is something about the pulse of being around an urban environment, the energy of the pedestrians going about their business. However, I don’t like large crowds.
Then, there’s the love of flowers and attempting to garden. I know that comes from my late father who grew up on a farm. So basically, all I need is a house with a huge yard in the middle of a walkable city. Tall order. Suburbs for the win, I suppose.
Are you a country or city person at heart?
Wait, I was talking about my plans for today.
Today’s Rainy Day Plans
- Make dough for tonight’s pizza roll dinner (done)
- Clean up the house a bit (a lot, in progress)
- Finish up the laundry (in progress)
- Maybe pay a few bills
- Relax and simply enjoy the day
How are you spending your Wednesday? And if you have any spare sunshine, could you please send a little this way?
I think I’d like a small cottage in a small walkable city – a little combo. Not that there is such a place . I’ll try to send you some sunshine, we have plenty of it here. Can you send us some rain in return please? Have a great day! 🙂

That combo sounds wonderful. I’d love to trade you some rain (it’s raining again this morning!) for some sunshine. Hope you have a wonderful Thursday and rest of your weekend!
