rainy days

Ahhhh, I love these rainy days! When my sister and I were young we used to call rainy days "baggy pants days". I suppose this is because we would put on comfy clothing and get cozy in the warmth of the house with the rain pouring outside.

When my lambs were little I was bound and determined that I was going to make sure they LOVED thunder and lightning as much as I did. When a storm would come I would make a big production out of it. I'd call them to the window and squeal with glee saying, 'look...listen...isn't that fantastic?' Oh, what a glorious show it would be! To my recollection I never had a child run to my bedroom or cower under the covers during a storm so it must have worked.

Growing up in AZ, rain was rare, so we loved it too, and still do. My mom didn't bake when it was hot, so when it rained, she made it special by baking cookies. So my kids call it "cookie baking day" and we love the sound and smell of desert rain!

Hope to see you Thursday and hope you are feeling better!
