Silver Lining

After yesterday’s beautiful weather, we got slammed today by heavy rain and high wind, which left me scrambling for indoor activities. We read lots of books, drew pictures, had a “picnic” in the basement, baked sugared apple wedges, and basically drove each other crazy. Fortunately, the rain had stopped by the evening, allowing us to take our daily walk to the mailbox. I think we were all grateful for the fresh air. The girls splashed in the puddles and played with the wet leaves and marveled at the strong wind. Their fascination with the effects of the storm almost made me thankful for the storm itself. I’m hoping I’ll have a similar gratitude for the first snowstorm of the winter…and the second…and the fifteenth!
