Then it occurred to me...
Happiness!!!
It's raining!!!
So I've opened the windows and (in attempts to unsuccessfully drown out the kid's arguing that started at 8am this morning) I am listening to the gentle pitter pattering of little drops making contact with the leaves, house and street.
So welcome to my lazy day friends. I'm gonna plop down on the couch or bed with a good book and the windows open. I'll probably put a muzzle on the children in a movie for the kids. Maybe we'll do a picnic for lunch in front of the TV. I think I'll put together and extra long quiet time today. Maybe break out some coloring books. It's going to be a lovely day!
Seriously...is there anything more relaxing than the sounds and smells of gentle rain?

I woke up to the same wonderful weather. Unfortunately my day consists of cleaning. The book idea sounds so much better! ENJOY!
A picnic lunch in front of the TV sounds like FUN!
No rain here. Think we might be entering some drought-like days...

Rain? What's that? The last time we got 2 inches of rain in one day where I live was in July of 2007.
Ah I see you are still sleeping in your castle. I guess the rain machine is working after all!
Nothing beats the sights, sounds or smell of rain.

Um please send the rain over my way. All of my plants are withering in this heat!!!!!!!
I'm so glad I'm further north and missing the rain. We have a beautiful cool sunshiny day. Hope you're enjoying your rain!
Oooh, I love staying home in the rain. There's nothing like a movie in the living room and me with my laptop while the rain pours down. Have a great day!
The rain didn't last long enough today. :( Although it smelled wonderful outside afterwards and the sun popping out was beautiful too. The cool comfortable air was nice today for sure! :)
When it rains, I love to curl up with a good book. Add hot cocoa = bliss. I hope you enjoyed your rainy day.
I too love waking up to rainy mornings. What a lovely post :)

Oh yes, I love rainy weather. :-) I hope the day went as lovely as you anticipated!
I love the rain! Especially thunderstorms at night or days when u dont have to do anything but snuggle up on the couch. :)
I love the rain too...but it's a conditional love. I love the rain at night. That's the best. I love the rain on lazy weekend days when I don't feel like doing anything but reading or watching television. I love the rain when I know I should work out, but I don't want to (a perfect excuse not to). I dont' love the rain on the rare occassions I actually feel like going running. And I DO. NOT. like the rain when I'm having an awesome hair day (not very often) and I have to go somewhere and can't find the umbrella.
