The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
As many of you know, we've had a drought in Texas this year. Lately - a few intermittent days of rain. This past weekend, cold and rain dominated the forecast. I relished its arrival.
How does one spend a cold, rainy Sunday afternoon during Christmas season? Hmmmm.
 |
| Stay in bed. Surround yourself with hundreds of catalogs (that have your postman hating your guts), a laptop, and a credit card. Start and complete all Christmas shopping while tucked in the warmth of a comforter. |
 |
| Get the bread machine going while getting out of bed to make a new cup of tea. |
 |
| Keep it going, all day long. The scent of a sweet bread filling the house. Oh, yeah. Switch from tea to wine and get your journal out. |
 |
| Relish the beauty of the loaves before wrapping them to give to your friends. |
|
Set up the tree.
 |
| Go downstairs and watch the Green Bay Packers. |
Prrrrfect day.
