We are at the cottage.
It is uh, drizzling.
My boys are out fishing in the rain.
My girls are doing crafts in the cottage, out of the rain.
I’m in the cottage out of the rain too. I just finished reading the first of the seven Henry James books that I brought to the cottage as I’m trying to get some of my summer reading done before my classes start in September. It took me about six weeks to read the first book though so the idea of getting through another six books in the next two weeks isn’t looking too promising, unless of course we get a lot more rain.
So far spending time at the cottage in the rain hasn’t been too hard, as a matter of fact it’s been almost relaxing, as I don’t really have much to do and the kids have been busy amusing themselves and their father.
Yawn.
I should go and read or something but I think I’ll take a nap instead.
I could get used to this.
I'm Leanne and I'm a tired mama. I work, I parent, I juggle and I don't seem to get enough sleep. Welcome to the place where I rant about all these things...
That's too bad. Hope you get better weather in the next week!

Yes...a nap sounds good anytime. Hope you have a great week and the sun will shine, I'm sure.

Any "time off" is great - even if it is raining! Going off to a cottage sounds wonderful! Enjoy it all!

It rained hard here this morning but now it looks great outside. Unfortunately the early gloominess and rain made me ALSO want to take a nap. Wish I could! haha

Relaxing is relaxing, no matter where you do it. Hope you get to do a lot more of it!

Enjoy.

Sometimes a nap is the thing to do. The kids can take of your husband for you.

Sounds very relaxing being there. Away from the daily hustle and bustle of life. Enjoy it while you can!

Watching the specks of rain drop on the roof and slowly drip over to the ground is a very soothing scene for me. I just love the rain and it makes me feel so relaxed and refreshed. My kids really liked bathing in the middle of a heavy rain. A little scary specially if there's thunder but nevertheless a fun way to bond.
