Rain – Lets Get Cozy

Sunday rain.  Bring out the tea, the blankets, the knitting and soft lights.  Bring out the apples and flour and brown sugar.  Bring out the warm socks, the fuzzy robes, and the old slippers.  Bring out the books, the fairy tales, the mysteries, and the legends.  Bring out the crockpot, the beef, the celery, onions and potatoes.  Bring out the spices and let’s make delicious smells and joyful noise in the kitchen while the rain sogs all the fallen leaves.  Tonight, while we sleep with the lingering smells of warm food, the rain will turn to snow. Let’s get cozy.

I did actually wake up to a rainy Sunday today, and while I didn’t do all of the above, I did do some housekeeping, some cooking, and some blog design updating.  It’s still a work in progress, as always.  My pick of the week is Angelgal.  She’s building a story and used the last two challenges to add to it.

In other words…

  • The ironies of being God.
  • When all hope is lost…
  • Physicists in the rain (welcome newcomer Laura from Down Under!)

That wraps up last week’s challenge.  For those of you that are new, welcome!  And for those of you lurking, visiting, or serendipitously stumbling your way here, speak up, we’d love to hear what you have to say in 100 words.  (If you need a debriefing on the challenge, go here but ignore the timelines in there.)

This week the writing challenge comes from Welcome to the Monkey House: Stories – Kurt Vonnegut.  Haven’t read the whole thing. This is one of the many books that sits on my bathroom book shelf for bath time reading.

See you soon!
