Just that kind of day...

Its a drowsy, lazy, cloudy, rainy day today.  Chilly and dark, its a good day for snuggling down by the fireplace with a cuppa tea and a good fantasy book.  Although there is nothing like the feeling of the sun warming your shoulders and face while you're doing stuff outside, I absolutely love days like this.  So peaceful and sleepy...
And inside the house is as peaceful as outside right now.  Dinner is on the stove, dessert's in the oven, there's peaceful music in the background, and the exotic aroma of a pineapple scented candle is wafting gently into my nostrils.
Though its Monday, I've had the day off and it feels more like a Sunday.  The house has been full this weekend, as my dad's brother and sister have come to visit.  Its been so lovely to spend time with them and show them around a bit.  The weekend has positively flown by, as weekends are always so apt to do, and though it is Monday, it feels like I've only had one day off.  Oh well, such is life - busy but good.  Good, sometimes only because God is good.  But good none the less.
With tea in hand, music in ear, and dreams in heart, I'm off to see what the future holds.

Its raining....

The rain is falling gently from the water-laden clouds hovering just above my head.  The misty drops caress the red, yellow and brown leaves preparing for the last step of a year-long cycle.  
The clouds, with their heavy burden of wetness are sinking lower and lower, and coming to rest on the tops of the mountains, obscuring them in a fluffy blanket of white and gray.  A high-blowing breeze makes them creep along the treetops lethargically, as if they just want to sit and doze for a while but are unable to refrain from carrying on.  
There is a chill in the autumn air.  All around me, smoke drifts lazily from chimneys and mixes with the low clouds.  The aroma of wood fires mingles with the freshness in the air.  
Soft, peaceful music drifts towards my ears and through my soul.  Its a beautiful day!

I love the rain!  Give me a wet, melancholy, sleepy day over sun anytime!  Well, most anytime.  I do love the beach too!  But if its going to be cool and cloudy, it might as well be raining.
