A glorious work from home day yesterday.
We’ve been woken up with roaring winds and rain. For me this is the most perfect weather.
Sent the Humanling off to school and then my mate and I decided to have a quiet early morning date to ourselves before I started work.
Eventually, we lay, listening to the wind, knowing that the leaves are swirling around in the air above the grass, the driveway, the chicken coop. The temperature is mild and the air feels gentle and refreshing through a window.
The smell of coffee permeated the house since we had it brewing in our French Press…the only way we enjoy coffee for the most part.
There is so much to enjoy about a rainy day….grace periods for things we might not ordinarily do, simply because weather might dictate certain activities are deemed for tomorrow, when the sun comes out.
He went to walk his mom’s dogs. I sat quietly in the house, after a lunch of yoga, vacuuming and mail checking.
Christmas early yesterday! Two of the books that I had ordered came in….One of ravens and crows and one of the Harlem Renaissance. I love when a book that I hadn’t previously, is finally in my hands. To touch it, flip through the pages…explore it like you can’t quite do virtually with the kindles and nooks of these days. Yep, I’m a book fogie!

A second pot of coffee water boiled on the stove for our next round of steamy, warm sharing. He returned home from rain dog walking and it was then time to grind the beans.
I wrote this yesterday and then edited it today for time tense.
But what really happened is that yes, it WAS INDEED time to grind the coffee beans. However, the electricity went out and that 2nd pot of coffee had to stay a simple pot of water, cooling off in a dark house. We instead lay down and napped. Rainy days that bring surprises.
