 It has been raining since I got up this morning. It is almost lunchtime.  Though I could have slept in today, I didn't. I am taking vacation. Happy that it is raining today. Otherwise I probably would be running errands and busy busy. Instead, I pulled out all the tee shirts that I have to make a quilt for my youngest. I finally have a working sewing machine, and the time to just sit and think about how I want the quilt to look. I am just sitting and brainstorming.  The sound of the rain on the roof, some S. Pellegrino (fancy water I treat myself to, it's the little things sometimes. Fizzy water it a guilty pleasure for  me.) . Ahhhhhh.  So I will continue to brainstorm, while it is storming. I may cut some tee shirts, may play with placement. I have been trying to do some thinking, some regrouping, some work at balancing life, work, self. Heavy thinking. It has been perfect weather for this. I may have some tea this afternoon. And if the sun comes out, well th...

Not much more to say about it really. As we all feel different about a good rainy afternoon turned night downpour. But tonight, the last night of my vacation, I couldn't have asked for a better day. It is the perfect day to be home, a rainy day. Found on Pinterest I didn't really accomplish all I wanted. But I did make chili, been simmering alllllll day. And I made some marinated conch, actually a time consuming dish only that it takes great care and time to cut up the tough conch. I all did this before lunch, and then have been enjoying intermitten naps with the smell of chocolate chip cookies my friend made this afternoon. Imagine this: dinner simmering, delish appetizer to snack on all day, rain and naps to smells of chocolate chip cookies. Sounds like a dream day, right? Something we would ache for on most days. Honestly, this was a totally unplanned chain of events that has made this the day we all promise to have every now and then. And that is what makes it all ...

This week the  two things have been on my mind are  Raindrops and Ladybugs.  --First, Ladybugs, also called Ladybirds by our friends across the pond , because I have 3 Ladybug forms waiting to be mosaic'd ~ thanks to hubby. He cut the cutest forms and I am loving how the glass is just falling into place on them. --Second, it has rained, then been sunny, then rained, etc. A nice change from where we moved from - where if the day started out cloudy and rainy, that lasted the whole day. Here - if it starts that way, by afternoon the sun is shining bright like it never rained. But then it can starts out clear skies and sun, and then rain late in the afternoon. Either way, I'll take it.
