Another Rain Post!

Yesterday, after deciding that the luminous storm clouds were too scary to take a new horse out in, I hunkered down to finish my book. I have been engrossed in this book ("The Whitney Chronicles") and if I had a few hours I would be able to finish it. I do not get a chance to read very often and I think my husband has been surprised to come home to me with my nose in the pages. Since it was not raining yet I took my book, a half-eaten bag of Twizzlers, a can of Light Minute-Maid juice, and the dog and trucked downstairs where I had hung up my sky chair last week. Hopping into the chair I was guzzled into the story once again.

The clouds got darker and the sky rumbled. I read on. The rain came and since I was hanging under the deck I decided to stake it out as long as it didn't pour and falls through the slats in the deck. The rain came in shifts and there was a nice break when the sun peeked out and warmed my feet. Then it started to hail and I still did not budge. The hail stopped and the rain slowed. I checked my watch and noticed I had been reading for almost two hours. I had left the door unlocked so my friends could come in and find me when they arrived. Then my attention drifted to my dog that was sitting intently watching something in the yard. I don't think it was anything more than a bird, but the sight was great. I found myself wishing I had a camera. The sun was out and the rain looked like bits of diamonds falling to the ground. The sun was shining towards Cheyanne and she had a golden brim of light around her body. It was amazing! I then remembered that Whitney had just found out the doctor was no longer with his fiance and returned to finish my book.

Even though I have complained about the rain it gave me some much needed rest and made me content with what I usually would have considered "wasting my day." Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
