Another day of rain and grey skies here on the west coast. Drippy but still beautiful in a muted way.
When the rain let up slightly this afternoon, we decided to don boots and raincoats and walk around the duck pond. I think the girls splashed in every puddle they could find, jumping up and down and making great sprays of muddy water. They needed dry leggings and socks when we returned home. But oh, the fun!
It's quiet now at home with the girls returned to their parents. We've watched an episode of Vera and the weather on this episode seemed to be the same as ours - lots of rain. Very atmospheric.
Settling in for a bit of unstitching as I hope to hem several new pairs of jeans and cords tomorrow. Some for me, some for him. It's the taking down of the current stitching that is the most tiresome. Good to get that job done ahead. Then perhaps some reading before turning in for the night. Will we hear rain trickling in the eavestrough again? I wonder.
On a housekeeping note, I've decided to reply to comments on the blog, usually within a day or two. If you've asked a question, be sure to check back.
Such beautiful photos, especially the duck on the water.
ReplyDeleteThose wood ducks are very photogenic.
DeleteLooking so autumnal in your corner. I can imagine the fun had by you all with that puddle splashing. We will be doing a lot of that ourselves today in all the rain. I must rewatch some of the old Vera’s. B x
ReplyDeletePuddle splashing was a big hit! Even though we tried to stand back, we got splashed, too. Enjoy the day with your granddaughter.
DeleteI’ve been watching news reports on all the rain there. The girls look adorable in their rain gear! Stay dry!
ReplyDeleteA pale blue sky this morning. More rain later in the week, but not nearly as heavy.
DeleteDearest Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteLittle girls remain girls and having fun by splashing in puddles is part of it.
Cute photos.
I've only seen once a wood duck at our pond, they are so beautiful.
When in an area with such perfect golden maple leaves one ought to roll roses out of them:

Splashing in puddles is irresistible to all little ones (and some big ones, too).

DeleteNo questions -- love the rain splashing picture. I remember having the same thoughts about those daily routines whenever we were lucky enough to have any of our grands overnight (rather long ago now since our daughter and dils get to have that fun now; as the great-gs, we just get to enjoy the "party" parts).
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren are delightful. I wonder if I will see my great-grandchildren?
DeleteI'm sure the splashing in puddles was a highlight of the weekend. I like the granddaughters' boots and rain coats💗💗.
ReplyDeleteThey love splashing! Rainwear is essential!
DeleteThat sounds like a fun weekend despite the rain. The girls look adorable in their rain gear. We thoroughly enjoyed Vera.
ReplyDeleteYes, Vera is good for an evening of television. We usually watch shows only on the weekends, other than news.
DeleteYour autumn scenes are so beautiful. I love that you were able to enjoy your little ones out splashing in puddles and enjoying the day. I am "delighted".
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilyn. Puddles are fun!
DeleteLovely photos! Your granddaughters are lucky to have such fun grandparents!
ReplyDeleteThey are so much fun to be around!
