Thankful Thursday



We've had two weeks of rain, chilly temperatures and overall gloomy weather.  One evening after dinner, Shylee began yelling at us to come see outside.  None of us wanted to get up at that moment, but she was adamant about us seeing the color outside the front door.  I was the first one to get up and go see, and I realized what she was excited about.  The color was an eerie yet awesome yellow and pink glow unlike anything I've ever seen before.  I got the camera but didn't really capture the fascinating color and feel of the moment.  While I was snapping away from the front porch, Shylee was yelling at us to come see the rainbow in the backyard.  I think the whole neighborhood heard her!  It's amazing how a few minutes of watching and listening to Shylee's excitement about a rainbow, turned yet another gloomy day into one of wonder and joy. I'm thankful for days like that.

I'm also thankful for:
     ~ the brief five minutes of sunshine this week
     ~ a new computer
     ~ my sewing room to escape to
     ~ a good thunderstorm
     ~ May
     ~ my Mom
     ~ being Sean's and Erin's mom
     ~ the rainbow after the storm
     ~ seeing life through the eyes of a child

What are you thankful for this week?

Rain Rain Go Away


It's been so gloomy and dreary lately.  The problem with that is it affects my mood in the same way.  I have no energy or motivation and find my self  being very unproductive.  I hope the gloom lifts soon.

Blogtoberfest Day Fifteen: Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head


Was it BJ Thomas who sang that song?  It's such a cold rainy, dark and gloomy day today.  I have to go out and take care of some things today, but this is not the kind of weather to be out in.  I was thinking of everything I could do if I stayed home, because it's just the kind of day to

            Wrap up in a blanket, curl up on the couch and read a good book or watch a movie

              Bake cookies, or pumpkin bread or an apple pie

Sew (or fill in what you do) ALL day long

                     Make a big pot of soup, chili or stew

                         Work on a jigsaw puzzle
                 
                                                                   Take a long nap

                  Drink a mug of hot chocolate with Lots of marshmallows

What would YOU do on a cold rainy, dark and gloomy day?
