Come again another day...This has the been the rainiest year I can ever remember. Before long, my yard will be soundfront property! Rain can give a lot of people the blues or just get them sick. Cold rain like this certainly prevents my cold from healing. Nevertheless, there are upsides to rain...
10) The next time it raining, put a tarp in the yard. Then pour some dish soap on it. If your child has trouble bathing, simply market your invention to your child (or stinky friend), as a Slip and Slide. They will be clean after 17 slides. Be prepared to hose them off.
9) If you know that there will be a monsoon, go out and by some environmentally friendly soap...use this to wash your dishes in the rain. Do this close enough to your neighbors, so that they can enjoy the scene. Take plenty of pictures if you can talk your spouse into doing this...
8) Using one of those golf umbrellas with the 8 foot "dome" on the top of it is genuinely awesome.
7) April's showers bring May's flowers - which are in full bloom at our annual Dock of the Bay...
6) A rainy day is a good day to empty out the Tivo, or catch-up on your Netflix rentals. Or you can read one of those papery objects filled with words...
5) Sleep...or you can just sleep.
4) I like to try new recipes when I can't get outside. Tr something weird. I like to take mayonnaise and put it in different ramekins...I will add something new and different to each ramekin, with dreams of inventing the perfect sandwich condiment...I have tried hundreds, but the best are cranberry sauce and maple syrup - both are great on a turkey sandwich. Or just try to make homemade mayonnaise...eggs and oil - I think.
3) If you don't mind the rain, go for a hike. Only do so if you are properly equipped with good socks and waterproof clothing. The rain can make the woods really peaceful. You are also able to sneak into photo range of the wildlife because the rain dampens an animals sense of smell, sight, and hearing. It will also dampen yours. Animals will be able to get within eating range of you...this will add to your excitement, especially if you only have a camera to defend yourself.
2) A rainy day is a good chance to go the the "liberry" and check out the short story "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury.
1) You car will be automatically washed. Roll your windows down for the inside and out cleanse.
Rain at home is also a good chance to take a vacation to drier climes, as well...just don't try to fly.
Enjoy the day...
