Now, you might expect me to say how all of my plans for the weekend were ruined because its raining today. Nope. Only one plan has to be put off and honestly, I wasn't ready to go grocery shopping yet. It doesn't mean that I don't have things to do, but it does mean that with some tasks being here in the house, and one or two others not being impacted much by the weather, I am fine with it raining. I'm not afraid of getting wet.
It's a medium steady rain. No thunderstorms, no lightning, no high winds, just rain. Occasionally, it will pause for a while, then start again and it's not horrible. If you were going to have hard rain, this would be the way I would choose. In a way, it's soothing, and it may also be a bit distracting.
Don't get me wrong, it is an inconvenience, but in a way, it simplifies things for me and I start thinking of the tasks I need to do away from home today and how they will now be combined into one trip. Okay, they should have been one trip anyway, but sometimes you need a break from the inside work and some fresh air. I guess that's the other thing, while I'm thinking about it, I can't keep the windows open on both sides of the house, which is typical for me this time of the year. The house gets a nice cross breeze and keeps the stuffiness down.
I have plenty of inside work to do today, but I am kind of enjoying the distraction of looking out of the window, where most days, I wouldn't bother. Don't get me wrong, I don't want this to last all day, or even most of the day, but especially while I have monotonous work going on, the calming effect is appreciated. I don't know if I will get any of my projects completed any quicker than I would have, but I do know that it won't keep me from doing what I need or want to do. We, that is unless I keep looking out the window instead of doing my work.
I'll let you have this one, Mother Nature, but only because it fits into my master plan.
