Rain on my parade

Today was beautiful. It was overcast and drizzly. I must admit I don't enjoy the endless days of rain that we often have in the Northwest but I do enjoy an occasional grey day in the midst of a sunny summer. The plants are greener and I switch from iced tea to warm tea, flitting about to slowing down and reading a good book. My dog seems to enjoy the change in forecast too. She sleeps longer and seems to smile at me while I am curled up next to her reading my book. Most of all the birds and the squirrels are happy not to have their work of feeding, in my garden, disturbed by a protective terrier!
