Ahhh..rainy days!!

So this week, it is supposed to rain every day, and worsening as the week goes by. It rained early this morning, but stopped early afternoon, and now it just smells wonderful outside. The only problem this is causing so far is the traffic...all these transplants forgot how to drive when it rains, so instead of TRYING to drive, they more or less CRAWL down the street 15 miles an hour less than the speed limit. It's great.

What else this means is that my hiking is a tad halted for a bit...its gotten a tad chillier, and while the rain itself doesn't usually stop me from hiking, the threat of flash floods does...the areas I hike often have dry washes that will fill extremely quickly and without warning. Drowning is one of my biggest fears.

So I will catch up on reading and finish some knitting. I did finish my nephew's blanket and it will be sent out by next week with a box of kids books to my sister's new home in Portland, Oregon.

I also finished a pair of socks (my first completed!)
No laughing at the cankles! :P
And now I'm on a mission to get as many projects finished this week as well!

Right now, I'm going to call my momma, and see how's she's holding up since my sister and brother-in-law moved last friday to Portland....the grandbabies aren't an hour away anymore :(

LOVE this weather!
