Remember in elementary school having rainy day schedule meaning we couldn't go outside for recess? We would stay in an play silly games like "thumbs up 7up"
It's raining here today so it's pretty much got us stuck indoors unless I make a trip to the market for some things we need in the pantry and fridge. There's not a lot we need to get done outside today and I know I really don't want to work in the miserable weather. So Jerod is helping me get the house cleaned up. It's a nice chance to take a breather, get some things done and find a little balance before the week starts.
I hear so many people complain about the rain and I just don't understand that. I know it can be gloomy and some people feel blue when the weather turns bad. But rain is what cleans our air and brings forth life and vitality. Without it nobody would eat. We should be thankful for the rain knowing how it was to go through drought for several years here in the central valley. I'm thrilled for the rain because instead of running my municipal water, my garden space is getting the good deep soak it needs for digging, tilling and creating beds for all of our lovely spring crops for free!
The chicken house is nearly complete. The chickens are fully contained now in a much larger yard than they had before with several more laying boxes. I will venture out into the rain after my late breakfast/lunch an grab some pictures. It just needs a few final touches and it will be complete.
What are you doing to improve your life and the earth this rainy day?
