A Little Vent!

I don't want this post to sound like complaining, because really it isn't. It is more a sharing of my frustration and venting.

Here in Virginia we have red dirt. Well, when it rains this dirt becomes more like potter's clay. Put into this equation a dog, a cat, a non-landscaped yard, and an A type personality (me) equals ARGH!!!! Oh my gosh! I'm going nuts. Washing the floor, vacuuming, and laundry have taken on a life of their own in this house when it rains. (Remember: I'm not complaining just venting.) I do so love it when it rains, but right now it is a little frustrating.

On a positive note: I've still had time to knit and finished dad's Christmas present and just about finished a baby gift for someone Mike works with. Life in Virginia is goooood!

Love it When it Rains

I must have been born on a rainy day, because I LOVE it when it rains. I even love it when it rains consecutively for a week! I know, people always look at me like I'm crazy. Most people love sunny blue sky days, as do I. But, there is just something about the rain that I love even more.

It is finally raining here in Virginia!! They say it hasn't rained in this part of Virginia since June. Everything is brown and shriveled. It is probably too late for anything to turn green again, but I feel rejuvenated by it. As I sit at the computer, I'm listening to the rain hit the leaves on the trees, and the birds are going crazy in song. They must be feeling rejuvenated too.

The rain was just the excuse I needed to give myself to stay in, do a couple loads of laundry and oh yeah of course I'll knit!! I cleaned the house yesterday so it will even be guilt free knitting! Nothing like it!

What would you do on such a beautiful day?
