It’s raining. It’s been raining since yesterday. We are currently under a flood watch. Occasionally, there is a rumble of thunder and some lightening. I’d rather be hiking or at the beach, but here I sit waiting on the rain. So far, I am on my third cup of coffee and unmotivated to read or sort books. I’m in a rain stinks-I’m stuck inside-I want to go hiking or the beach-funk. I’m wallowing. It’s not attractive. Not even my pink flamingo slippers are cheering me up. I tried turning on music and dancing it out. Nope. So, I’m now sorting through books. I didn’t realize how may picture books I had on rain/weather. Break out your favorite coffee mug and join me for a walk in the rain. Well, not the actual rain because it’s raining cats, dogs, and hippos.
