Just Because
It is raining today and I love it. Maybe wash off some of the soot and dust that clings to trees and houses and sidewalks around here. It also brings the positive ions. It also makes me so lazy. I feel as if I have to stay inside. The truth is it is actually warm and only drizzling a little. The funny thing is the dogs act like it is pouring. They haven’t been out much today and we just came back from a walk. It was as though I was torturing them and they both balked at the leash. They also did no business. I guess that is their business.
I have studied Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, looked though a collection of pictures for inspiration in my art class tomorrow, eaten now and then. Just finished a big piece of chocolate cake from my daughter’s birthday and am watching “National Parks:US’s Best Idea. I recorded it when it was shown. It is fabulous and I am learning so much.
Secretly I am awaiting the mail so I can watch my next installment of McLeod’s Daughters. I am hooked on this Australian series. I love the characters, the scenery and the stories are pretty nice too. It has lots of shows, unlike my favorite here “Weeds” which only had five or six this season.
My friend doesn’t like the rain, she prefers it to be sunny all the time, but I reminded her how important it is. It hasn’t rained since I came here in February. That is downright strange. Unhealthy. She wants Camolot, you know rain at night only waking up to a fresh day. That is not all bad either.
I was reading a blog called Shot of Coffee and the author says he writes every day on his blog and that sounded like the way it should be so I decided that even if I don’t have what I consider a profound thought, I should still sit down and write anyway. So I have.
