“How was the weather?” people ask when we return from our cottage. They assume we would wish for nothing but sunshine and warmth.
But wet weather is a wonderful part of vacation life too. Rainy days are perfect for cocooning with a good book, or for settling in for a nap.
There are few sounds more soothing than rain on a cottage roof . . .

As a writer AND a reader, rain on the roof is a signal for cocooning, so cozy. Some family members got together to buy me a wall fountain for the patio out back. Now the trickle there is soothing. I know fall will bring more tolerable weather for enjoying this.
Thanks, Arlene, for providing comfort today. 🙂
Oh, I love a water fountain. Just thinking about it makes me feel more relaxed. I used to have a small one in my office, but it got broken in a move. I think I need to replace it, now that you mention it. How wonderful that would be.
Beautiful photo. It’s interesting how slightly different weather prompts anyone to do entirely different things. Snooze away, it’ll be great.
Thanks, I love the photo too. It’s a “everything is right with the world” kind of picture. I snoozed, I relaxed, and now I’m back from the cottage, recharged to take on what the fall brings.
Rainy weather is perfect for indoor activities.
There are days where I think, “I wish it was raining today so I’d have a good excuse to stay inside.” That happens! A balance between sun and rain is a good thing.
