Rainy Days and Mondays

 My computer has been going up and down since Sunday so this is a bit late but I do hope you will join in anyway.

Welcome back. Toni Taddeo began this Tuesday 4 question and answer postings and I am continuing it in her honor.. 

It's been a bit rainy and stormy across the USA this spring and I have seen so many negative sentiments about Mondays.   Karen Carpenter sang about rainy days and Mondays always getting her down.   Can we discuss it?

1. How do you feel about rainy days? Do they make you happy or sad? Do they always get you down? Absolutely not.  I have always enjoyed a rainy day.. even when they come and over stay their welcome.  One of my temperament personalities is melancholy which  makes a rainy day right up my alley!

2. How about Monday. Do they get you down or do you think that just might be a habit of negative thinking? Well, to be honest when I was teaching, it truly did seem that Mondays came too quickly!I sometimes longed for one more day on weekends.   Of course, being retired, except for Sunday, one day is much the same as the next!

3. Did you play in puddles as a kid? Or were you not the kind that liked getting wet and muddy? Oh,my goodness, yes.  I am so blessed to have grown up with galoshes, and puddles, even slight gullies drew me ever to them! 

4.  Are there foods/meals that you find especially comforting on stormy days?  Nosy people want to know!! So Lynn has been working outside on  repointing the mortar joints in our brick sidewalk.  It has taken a couple of days so far.. but he just came in to say a stray storm had just popped up. Now I had already prepared our delicious chicken salad and shucked the corn for supper tonight, so I’m not compelled to do any more.  But I  understand that we will have the next two days very stormy and bleak!  (Goody). So I will probably cook up something substantial like a pot of lentil beans with ham, or a yummy veggie soup. There is something about a dreary day that calls me to the kitchen!
