Rainy Days and Mondays
Hosted by Annie
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4
Oh, yes, when I was teaching and even though I enjoyed teaching the thought of a new week was sort of a downer!!!
How about a rainy day? NO, I love rainy days! So soothing and calming!
What makes it better? A cup of tea and a good book!!
2. How do you like to spend rainy days? I can't read much these days,, I need to get my glasses adjusted.. but I can do journalling! It is a good time to catch up.. I accumulate ideas and a rainy day is great for putting the ideas together and being creative!
3.Do you like to take a walk in the rain? No!
4.What is your weather like this summer so far? It was mild in the beginning and for some time, but last week was a killer.. the heat was smothering, and the flowers took a hit. We watered them greatly prior to the heatwave, but that didn't get them through the week. They looked puny over the weekend, so we pruned them back and watered again!! What would make it better or worse? We are mild through next week, plus we are supposed to get some good rain.. but the weatherman has missed us a lot so far.. What is your ideal summer weather? Mild sunny days with afternoon showers. I seem to remember so many days like that as a young teen when I'd lay out on our comfy glider... kick my feet up and read my Trixie Belden books. It wasn't humid or especially hot, just perfection!!! Then I loved afternoon thunderstorms .. Lightning and thunder was so much fun to enjoy as I would lie on my bed in my room, with the window open about 3 inches and let the stormy wind dance with the drapery shears and then Id enjoy the battle in the heavenlies! We can often hear stormy weather over in the next county, but we seldom get it here!! Bah humbug!
A cup of tea and a good book...now you are speaking my language!! That is my favorite way to read on a rainy day or any day that I am curled up in my recliner reading. It's a bit too hot these days to think about hot tea much, but as long as our AC is nice and cool and if it is cloudy and rainy outside, I can manage to choke down a cup of hot tea while reading. LOL. Love the Carpenter's song. Like you, since retiring, Mondays don't get me down. It's a day to recuperate from a busy Sunday/weekend. When fall starts back up we will be having our Ladies' Bible study again on Monday afternoons. I'd prefer it on another day, but that seems to work for most everyone else so I go along with it. The men also have a Bible study on Monday afternoons at the same time so they don't feel left out at home alone. LOL. Okay, I hope you have a pleasant and relaxing week, and I hope it cools down and you get some needed rain soon.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of this song when I saw the Tuesday4 questions! Good answers. I hope August will be kind to us. Take care and stay cool.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to say hi and enjoy your answers here. A perfect song for this blog hop. I hope you have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, bah humbug! There is nothing like an open window in a storm.. and to feel the chill of the wind coming through. I love to fall asleep to a thunder storm! Karen Carpenters voice was so special.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way on #1. I do not ever want rain when working with 4 year olds. They need to go outside and get out some energy. I am off right now for summer, so Monday and rain do not bother me. I have to start back next week (training)...yuck. Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

What a pity about the plants. I hope they're doing a bit better now.
ReplyDeleteWe had so much rain yesterday that my plants were standing in a huge layer of water. The holes in the pots couldn't keep up.
Have a great august!
I have a friend that loves the rain. I used to love that song by The Carpenters
