rainy days

The only bad thing about rainy days is if they mistakenly occur during the week. Rainy days are for vacations and weekends.

They are for waking up late, wrapped in cool sheets with a snuggly comforter, listening to the sound of the wind and rain pattering on the glass of your bedroom window. Rainy days are for rolling over in bed, pulling the comforter up around you and dozing.

They are for slow mornings, with a full breakfast and time to linger over coffee.

They are for lighting candles and avoiding electronic equipment.
In the spring, they are for wearing shorts and flip-flops and standing under the carport, putting small seeds in pots. They are for leaning against a rail, watching the rain come down. They are for resting, and for making plans.
