Do "rainy days and Mondays always get you down" (as they did Karen Carpenter, for readers of my generation)?
Let's start with Mondays. They definitely don't get me down. In fact, I love Mondays! Of course, that is due to the fact that I love what I do...home making, home educating. And Monday is generally an "at home" day. Mondays mean back to routine, a fresh start, back to the books. (Although I love Mondays, I can sympathize with those who don't...if I had to leave my home and go back to the work-a-day world, I'm afraid my love for Mondays would quickly change.)
So how about rainy days?
Well, I kind of like them too. Not if they come day after day after day. Not if it rains on a day of outdoor plans or on vacation or while I'm grocery shopping and I have to load umpteen bags into my car and back out of my car when I get home.
But a rainy day can be cozy. Kati says a rainy day is good for a snuggling up with a blanket and a cup of tea and a good book. Bekah thinks they're good for sleeping in (and then hastens to add that she'd like to do that every day). I think they're good days for making soup and lingering over read-alouds.
What about you? What do you like to do on rainy days?

I think rainy days are cozy (Maddie word!). It is better when Brian is in with us, but today he had a meeting until lunchtime. SO...we read LOTS of books and drank hot chocolate and watched a Veggie movie. Then we had a quiet afternoon, ate an early dinner, and watched another movie as a family. Looks like books, good food, and movies are our rainy day agenda!
