It rained yesterday. It rained all day yesterday.
Rain has officially made it into the "awe inducing rare weather phenomena" category taking the place of seeing the sun for a full day in Nova Scotia. A complete flip in weather patterns.
Some totally new experiences are being had in the weather department here as well. The other night the working man came home to report that it "rained mud" on him that day.
That is definitely a new experience!
Things were already starting to green up around here. It would be no small stretch to think this rain is going to give everything a kick in the pants to really get spring off to a roaring start. Yay!
The kids took total advantage of "rainy day schedule" to do some extra art projects, help make fruit and nut bars to munch, and watch this. I did lots of writing, some sketching, a few rows of knitting, and a bit of rainy day picture taking.
No one was super interested in heading out to puddle jump with me! But we read a bit more of this,
played a cool new math game, which the little man made up, and generally snuggled up to keep warm and cozy while we watched the rain come down.
What is your favorite way to spend a rainy day?

P.S. Tomorrow I will be back with another Make and Listen Along post. Come join in the fun and share your makings and listenings!
why inside knitting of course! I think it would be strange to do a 180 degree flop in weather patterns. I don't particularly like rainy days because my hair will frizz out but I do appreciate the greenery it provides.
ReplyDeleteKnitting of course :-)
DeleteThe weather has been an interesting adjustment.
I love the green rain brings too. Lots of that back in NS.
Rainy day fun includes knitting, reading, crafting, a little baking and of course hot tea :)
ReplyDeletePerfect rainy day schedule!
DeleteWe have rain headed our way and that means game day. My youngest loves board games so rain, a bowl of popcorn and a game are on the books.
ReplyDeleteYes! We have gone through different board game phases... Might be nice to inspire one again.
Deletemy littlest guy loves walking with dinosaurs! and if you were to ask him his name, he'd say "e-rex." ;-)
ReplyDeletetrying to get myself together to post tomorrow - having a wonky week and our schedule is off but if not tomorrow, the next thursday!
Love! E-rex would have lots of dino inspired fun here. F has the whole "Walking With..." collection!
DeleteI would love for you to join in when you can!
How lovely! It will get super green very vast now that it has rained. Favorite rainy day activity....when we arrived here there it rained for a week straight. We had nothing to do but go out and walk in it. So we did. I think walking in the rain is really lovely. Light gentile rain without wind of course! :)
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to the green!
DeleteWe did lots of walking in the rain in NS. I LOVE it! Enjoy!
