I Love Rainy Afternoons

There is nothing better, in my opinion, than having the respite of a cool rainy afternoon in the middle of an otherwise hot and sunny week. I know my garden and my lawn love it, but I do too. We tend to give ourselves permission to sit still and spend a nice long time reading or doing some other indoor activity when the skies darken and the rains come. I love that the girls' first instinct is to grab a book.
