It's raining, it's pouring

Finally!

It hasn't rained in months here.  We've had a few cloudy days and a few cool days, but none that required indoor activities.  But this morning, I found it to be very cloudy (those heavy gray clouds) and sure enough, it's raining!  Yay!

I really like change in weather.  Here's my philosophy: people have moods that change, so why shouldn't the weather?  Although I like sunny days on end, I love a good rain, or a good storm, or a snowstorm, etc.  I don't like the same old boring weather day after day, so I was elated this morning when it started to drizzle!

Now that it's fall, there are other things I'd like to do that require being indoors.  I felt guilty doing them on sunny, warm days, but not on days like today.  Right now, I'm making Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins.  I'll post the recipe soon.  And I'm going to clean out some paperwork (I'm finding stuff I've kept since 1996... hello, I'm a packrat) and watch some football.  The Pats are playing tonight and I'm baking some stromboli for dinner.  Such a good fall day!!

I guess I'm too used to NH weather.  That really had some personality!  Harsh, brutal winters, HHH summers, brilliant falls... Wow, I was really spoiled living there.  Although we've lived in some beautiful and amazing places, my heart still belongs in NH.  I wonder if that's going to be an issue when it's time to retire from the Navy...
