We have had almost no rain since spring. All of the lakes, all of the ponds, all of the rivers are very very low. Saturday, it was so dry and crusty as we went for our Fall Foliage tour, I asked Google, "Will it ever rain again in Carthage, Missouri?" To my surprise, it said there was a 100% chance of rain on Monday! That gave me something to look forward to.
In spite of the forecast, I was very surprised and pleased that it rained all day yesterday. The forecast is for rain all day today also. So I am taking a mini vacation at home. I am knitting and I am watching old movies on my phone and my tablet. Of course I get up and do the housework things, too, in between.
Substitute teaching does not pay very well in southern Missouri. I am happy, however, that I chose to substitute rather than teach full time. It is for days like this, when I just want to be cozy at home, that I chose the part-time work with freedom to choose when and where I shall work.
Today, I choose home!
Have a lovely day whatever the weather!
Blessings from the cottage,
Laura

I am happy you were blessed by rain.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura~ I love a rainy day, and I'm so happy that you are getting rain where you live! We have also been in a drought, and we have also been getting some wonderful rain showers. I think substitute teachers are a life saver. My grandson was telling me just the other day that he loved his - sub - he said she was so much fun. I'll bet you are wonderful! Enjoy the rest of your cozy week. Hugs, Barb
