rainy day productivity

on sunday, the skies opened up.
the garden was happy to have the rain
falling on all of our newest sprouts.
beans. squash. pumpkins. basil.
all showing themselves.

while they were doing there work outside,
todd and i went to work inside.
we cleaned up our new old shelf and filled it with books.
how fun it was to pull out all the old titles and think of time this summer
to read and reread.

we cleaned out the storage area (again).
tidying up and packing away boxes of school supplies
as my year comes to a close.


we cleaned out closets and drawers.
did laundry.
scrubbed the kitchen and the floors.
ran errands in town.
made pillow covers for ugly pillows. (well, i did that part.)


all this productivity and we rewarded ourselves with fresh pineapple and strawberries.
how i love summer.
even the rainy days.
