Rain Rain Go Away

Hurricane Alex came ashore much lower on the Texas coast than where we live.
We were close enough to have strong winds and heavy rainfall.
After a very long day it is still raining, but softly!!!!
Now that I know we will be safe I am making the best of the rainy, rainy weather.

Looking back !

A vintage window hanging on the patio.


Looking out of the bedroom window.


Reading in bed.


Having tea in my favorite cup from the ship Queen Mary.


The house twinkles and glows when it rains.


Thinking of a million new ways to redecorate the bedroom.


I am an outside kind of girl.


I will not see twilight tonight through the stained glass window on my patio!


The weather man said it will most likely rain until Saturday morning.
I hope not!!

I am very rested! I so need the sun to shine!

I love this quote.
"In the garden my soul is sunshine"

  5. Hopefully it will stop on Saturday. I bet the sunshine will be back for the 4th. It's been cloudy for days here too but it was welcomed with open arms. It sure has cooled things off. Have a great weekend!

  6. Hi Dottie, We have clouds, but no rain. I too love a rainy day once in awhile, so you can put the shovel and trowel down, ignore the possibilities of indoor work, and treat yourself to a cup of tea and a good book.
    I like your outdoor hanging window with the water droplets.
