I love the sound of rain on the roof and curling up in bed with a good book! Here in Minnesota we could also use rain but it's to be hot for the next two days and no rain possibility til Tuesday! Rain always puts me in a good mood. :-)

This should put a smile on our DH's faces,

Yes, it rained a little here too. (About 10mm) I love the sound of rain on the roof. I was woken up by that sound in the middle of the night. I am so glad that you got some rain. Hope you get more! (I love every little bit that we get!)

May Britt said...

Yes it is raining here too. Perfect sewing weather !!
Autumn is approaching very fast in norway, hope the snow stays away for a long time. Not ready for that yet.

Yes , It has been raining here but I dont think we have had the inch. Hope we get more for the hay. Every bit helps though. Its great on a rainy day to lay around and do not much.

Jenny said...

Yes! Here too! Such a lovely sound on the roof-a perfect day to go to the pictures with my mum-glad you had some leisure time and lots of rain:)

It hasn´t rained here the last few days, and I´m happy for that. The weather report says that tomorrow will be our last summerday this year... Then colder and more rain. I wish I could send some of that water down to you, I think you need it more... But when it rains I can stay inside stitching....:))

I’m happy to say that for a change it’s not raining here today! We have sun and 30oC... tomorrow we will have rain again and the temperatures will drop... 18oC. Autumn is around the corner!

I love to listen to the rain when laying in bed!

Leisa said...

Please send it north to me when you've had enough today - although I think we could all do with a weeks worth!

Leanne said...

Yep it rained here through the night.

Julz said...

Love the rain, as a great excuse to spend the day sewing, reading or just lazing around. We were lucky enough to have two days straight of no rain LOL even resorted to washing the windows to get rid of the winter grime... Have a great week, and enjoy the rest of your novel. Hugs Jx

Beautiful, beautiful rain, especially on our crop at Narromine! It is the difference for us between losing a whole lot of money and perhaps making a little. I can't imagine what it means to the 'big farmers' like you! So glad for everyone that the season has taken a turn for the better. Enjoy the novel!

Stina Blomgren said...

Glad it´s raining at your place...it sounded like it was well needed... and at my corner of the world I´m happy it´s not raining...finally some sun... Good luck with the sewing!! :o)

Tone Yvonne said...

it's raining in Oslo as well, probably due to the fact that autumn is on its way!!

Enjoy your book!!

Chocolate Cat said...

Yep, it's raining here and would be a wonderful day to be at home curled up in a warm bed!! Shame it's Monday!!!

Jodie said...

Great news about the rain!!! DH and I went away for the weekend and returned to a muddy road and puddles everywhere... THANK GOODNESS!!!! We too were in need of some good rain fall so this has us smiling from ear to ear.

Ahhhhhh, Oh to stay inbed and read a book on a rainy Sunday Morning. Not in this house with two little Munchkins running around. One day. We have had heaps of rain too which we are happy about.

Annie said...

Yes, we've had lots of rain. Sort of hoping the sun will shine for a bit, especially now it's Spring!

Lyn said...

Well, I just can't think of a more perfect day than laying in bed, listening to the rain on the rooftop and reading a great book! That is the ultimate in relaxation and happiness as far as I'm concerned!!
