Washington autumns are probably one of the best. I know many of you sigh at the sight or sound of rain, but I look forward to it. The sound just beckons me to a hot cup of tea, or coffee, or . . . even better . . . hot apple cider. It demands that I turn the classical station down or the video off so I can listen to the music that plays just outside my window. It helps to calm my spirit. It puts me in a relaxed state of mind. Slippery leaves, greener lawns, and the smell of a fresh newness puts my mind at ease. Enjoy your wet autumn day!Thursday, November 6, 2008
Autumn . . . and Rain
Washington autumns are probably one of the best. I know many of you sigh at the sight or sound of rain, but I look forward to it.

mmmmmmmmmmm,,, I so agree! I hate cold weather, but what you described it right on with how I feel about the beauty of Autumn! And I love cozing up with a friend and a cup of hot tea...hint hint :)
My sentiments exactly! There is just something to be said about a wet autumn day. fire in the stove, hot cup of tea (how about a pumpkin spice latte? ;) ) and everyone sitting around, reading or just enjoying time to reminisce. I truly love the fall, I love the rain, and I love to spend cozy evenings with my family!

Mmmmmmmmm. I can almost feel how you feel when you're listening to the rain. I agree that it calms the spirit. I love fall but always have a hard time adjusting to the darkness coming so early after the time change.
Hey MO...your not suppose to make me all teary eyed wishing that I was sitting on your couch listening to the rain with you as I drink my fifth hot latte of the day:) I do miss the autumn days of WA state. It has been cooler here. Our grass is almost brown (wish it were turning green like yours) and when it rains here it rains sideways with 25-40 mile hour winds. I guess that is what you get when living near the coast. Oh how I wish I were enjoying the day with you...i am still holding onto our goodbye in WV.
I am such a mo...I need to proofread better...I mean, I am still holding onto out goodbye hug in WV...you give the "bestest" hugs in the whole wide world:)
i did it again---i give up and going to bed...i am cross eyed and crazy from sewing all day i think.... and instead of deleting my comments and starting over...you all can get a good giggle in at my expense.
It is early here..I can hear the rain...I have mini lights on my ficus tree...and drinking a big mug of Lady Grey Tea.....ahhhhh....this year I think the colors have been especially beautiful....I used to think I was the typo queen...think Amanda H.....now gets the award.. :-)
