The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency. ~Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons
I think that Miss Toth about sums up one of my favorite ways to spend a rainy day. Of course, the following statement is true, too:
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain. ~author unknown~
Running in the rain, trying to catch drops in my mouth was such a fun activity, always cut short by my mother as soon as she noticed it was raining!
Hope you are all having a great day, no matter what the weather.

I dearly love that quote...it is sunshiny and 56ยบ here right now...but it being Ohio there is still somewhat of a nip in the shadows...I just had my tea and some cinnemon raison bread...it hit the spot...I think we have rain on the forcast tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteLoved your post and always that sweet verse at the end!!
(((hugs)))
Were not getting the rain here yet, but hubby and son are still going out fishing tonight, not me, I'll be curled up with a cup of tea and a good magazine or two! Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteI just love your blog. And the story of your home, so precious. And what a legacy it will be.

I love the rain, we dont see alot of it. Have a good weekend. Allison
ReplyDeleteRosemary, thank you so much for the compliments. No I never made the dolls. An Amish friend of mine made them. They just recently, (her brothers) built our small cabin that we have across the creek from our house in a small meadow. They live a few miles from us so we had the cabin pulled here after it was finsished. It will be a quiet place to go to, without any electric or running water. I have an antique cast iron wood cook stove for heat and cooking we will use. It will be completely primitive and a quiet place to get away, and read my bible and other things.

The weather here is wonderful today. I love a slow continuous rain. So long as it doesn't flood. we have had floods in our home before and it is no fun. connie from Texas
ReplyDeleteWouldn't mind a bit of rain around here to wash some of the snow away! So funny, Rosemary-I thought of the same wonderful verse today!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! Love Ya- Claudia O.
I love rainy days, especially when I can stay inside where it is warm. I love to go to sleep to the sound of the rain. It is so soothing. Our rainy season will be here before we know it. I hope it holds off until the cherry blossoms are done blooming. It's 55 and sunny today. We just had a blast from Siberia so we are enjoying the warmer weather!
ReplyDeleteRoseMary, thank you very much. Tell your hubby thanks also! Yes I did take the picture at a "Women in the Outdoors", function. I took 3 classes, one was primitive cooking, and outdoor photography, and landscaping, the last one was boring, lol. But the photography class was very interesting and the teacher (who had also been my 6th grade math teacher; too funny) took us on a short hike and told us about how some uncommon things made really neat pics. I found this butterfly hung in a cedar tree and took like 10 pictures of him, I never did get one quite like I'd hoped. Everyone else was way down the trail and I got left behind because I was soooo busy with the butterfly. But I felt really good and all the other gals had wished they'd stayed behind with me. I kept yelling, "hey guys, here's a butterfly"! They ignored me and trudged on lol. I sounded like I'd struck gold or something rofl.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote...love Susan Toth's books too.
ReplyDeleteWe have rain in the foreast...it was warmer and sunny today but anyday is glorious...the sweet verse at the end was so true...
Love,
Sue
Living in the pacific north WET as I do...I have a love/hate relationship with the rain. Right now I wish it would stop, as it's been a dreary, wet winter since November. That said, I've danced in the rain after an extened trip to California!
ReplyDeleteI remember playing out in the rain as a child....so much fun.
ReplyDeleteNow we hear about acid rain and all those things that spoil so much fun.
Thanks for the visit and comment. I'm sure there are many "different" funerals.......
The quotation on the plate is indeed a very true statement.
ReplyDeleteHence, perhaps my enjoying the blogs and the people I come in contact with.
You have a wonderful blog.
