{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 16 - Rainy Days }

 The past few days, we have had constant rain.  Sometimes with strong winds and storms that seem to turn everything a haze of white, so strong is the rain that we can't even see a foot in front of us. 

And other times, a soft pitter patter, constantly drumming on the roof.   My favorite kind of rainy day, where the days are dark, the clouds are a deep shade of grey, and the rain drops fall at a constant pace, a rhythmic pattern that lull you into a quiet, relaxing mood.  

As I type this post, the rain is coming to an end and pops of blue are starting to spread across the sky.  I would have loved a few more rainy days, but I will take the cold temperatures after a scorching summer.

 

It is currently 54 degrees with a real feel of 37.

 

My bedroom windows are open, the kitchen window is open and the freshest crisp air is blowing in, spreading through the house like a mist and cooling everything in it's path. 

I've got a chili in the crockpot for dinner, my Best Chili Ever, which you can find over on the food blog.  I will make some biscuits later to go with the chili.  I was going to make something else and the chili would be for next week, but with the cold temperatures today and the cloudy skies, I figured it was the perfect day for a hot bowl of chili with a fluffy biscuit.

In the meantime I am going to get busy with my projects.  I currently have so many waiting for me:

 

• Universe in Bloom Crochet Blanket
• Puss in Boots Amigurumi
• Paint by number canvas
• A few Christmas inspired projects from my advent calendar two years ago
• A booknook
• A big gingerbread house nook

 

I have a book I'm currently reading and I also have my Daily Grace Bible Study to start, so a lot to pick from.

 

I hope your Friday is going well and winding down to a relaxing weekend.
