Hi friends. Have I ever told you how much I love a rainy, chilly day? Only about a thousand times, I know. Today's a very chilly, rainy, and gray day...I'm absolutey giddy! If I had a woodstove, there'd be a fire in it right now, let me tell you.

This is a picture of a rainstorm in Vermont where I desperately want to live someday. If you look very closely, you can see the raindrops on the bridge, as well as the lake peeking out from behind the evergreen. Sigh. Just thinking about this place calms me from the inside out.

Official countdown til school's out...35 days!
