Planning on a restful day

Hung clothes out late last night, not wanting to run the dryer with it so hot outside. When I do that in the Summer, they end up dry by around 10am. So, 10:30pm found me wandering around in the backyard, looking at the moon for hints as to whether it'd rain. Seems I've lost my touch in reading hints in nature as to the state of in-coming weather, because.....

It did begin raining sometime before sun up. Thundered too. Sounded so cozy while I was in bed. Had in the back of my mind, though, the thought of the sagging clothelines. :)

But what's so great is that this morning the air is wonderfully cool and refreshing. This after a heat index yesterday of around 104 or so. It was HOT. Even in the house, seemed we couldn't cool down. Supposedly, today it's going to be a repeat of the day before, but I can enjoy now while it's overcast and delightful. Just wish I could cram the entire day into the next hour---least so's we could take advantage of the weather part.

Will take the rest of the day as it comes. Don't have to leave the house for anything, which is a nice change. No errands that I can't send the older ones out for. Leftovers for dinner. Books to read. Puttering to be enjoyed. That's all I need.
