Not a Wordless Wednesday today. Rain, however it comes, is a rare thing for Northern Nevada, but rain for four days straight can be considered almost miraculous. It reminds me of living in Georgia. On days like these I loved to curl up with a stack of good books, a giant bag of peanut M&M’s, and read all day long while I listened to the pitter-patter of rain on the roof.
The following four pictures were all taken on Monday. The first three are of the same mountain. This is the view I have out my living room to the west.
This was taken in the morning.
As the day progressed the rain fell more heavily. Here it is early afternoon.
By late afternoon the skies began to clear. See that tiny patch of blue to the south?
Much better. This was our southern view taken at the same time as the photo above.
Tuesday it drizzled rain all day but not enough to deter some serious puddle jumping.
Truffle had to have her own puddle because she wanted to create some major splashes.
This puddle was particularly fun because of some hidden holes that had been dug before the rain. See Special Dark? His boots are completely submerged.
Fudge loved the feel of mud between her toes. She laughed every time her feet created a sucking sound.
While the children enjoyed splashing around in their bare feet, I preferred my rain boots.
Great pictures and I ADORE your boots! So stinking cute!
Same comment as Amy!
Your rain boots are darling.
There must be some magnetic pull between kids and puddles don’t you think??
Absolutely beautiful views. And the puddles. So much fun but I prefer boots too. Yours are so very stylish. I love the polka dots.
What a fun mom you are. I think so often I get caught up in the mess that the fun will create and limit it too much. You are a good example in adorable boots!! 🙂
Fun! FUN!
Cute pictures!
Hey, how did you get your feeds in google reader to show a comment link at the bottom?
Those rain pictures look so refreshing! And I love reading a good book, eating or drinking chocolate, while listening to the rain.
Love your blog!
I too have had rain and more rain where I am a few states away.
I added you to my Kindred Women blog list on my blog!
Love to read about homeschooling, family, nature and more on your lovely posts!
Thanks
Oh! I love playing in the mud. So do my kiddos. I’m glad yours got a chance too! We live in South Mississippi where rain is pretty typical! We get to do it pretty frequently!
Great pictures and Happy WW!
such fun! It’s always raining in Ireland, so we don’t appreciate it enough, but I love lying in bed and listening to the rain, so cosy!
Cute boots-
