Rainy Saturday Sky

img_3363 This is as close to the sky as I’m going to get today. It’s been raining steadily all day and shows no signs of letting up. It’s gray. It’s damp. It’s blah. The only bright spot is that I don’t have to go out in it and that Chappy and I are together.

And, oh yes, it gave me a reason to put on a pair of my handknit wool socks for the first time in months.

Still, I’ve been productive. I’ve got the desserts for tomorrow finished and boiled the potatoes for salad. I cleaned my bathroom and dusted my bedroom. I did some filing. I even found time to finish my book (“Sense and Sensibility”)–which means that so far I’ve finished two books this month . . . already! (grin–I don’t expect that to keep up.)

Now–I’m going to go, make some tea, and sit with Chappy and my new, current book. Maybe pull my knitting out of the bag . . . or not. Maybe get some spinning done . . . but except for making some supper later, I don’t plan on doing any more WORK today.

It’s just too darn gray . . .

  1. Gray here too in SW PA (17 miles from Kittanning). We’ve had almost 1.5″ rain out of Ernesto but no flooding. DH and I grocery shopped and such. If I have to go grocery shopping, today’s a good day for it! Your spinning’s going so well! And your sweater top, too! A good weekend for laboring on some fiber fantasies! Have great fun with all your family tomorrow!

  2. Oh, but reading on a rainy day sounds so heavenly. As long as it’s not flooding rain, hurricane rain or any other Nature Strikes Back rain.

  3. We just had high winds, no rain. The police scanner (we have one since RR is on the FD) was extremely busy with downed trees everywhere.
