i guess I'm a pluviophile....

i absolutely love the rain!!! especially living in GA.

now, i understand many of you are saying....
"UGH, i just HATE rain!! what are you talking about?"
i get it!! i really do! i mean, there is nothing "fun" about
•mud
•commute
• frizzy hair
• flooding
• cabin fever
but, you have to look past all the faults!
rain in all seasons are great.....

* spring rain*

~just makes me feel peaceful.
~everything is new and the rain helps all the flowers bloom.
~the birds seem to sing a little louder
~with your windows up, napping while listening to the rain on your roof

*summer rain*

~brings out my inner child
~watching a storm roll in
~lightning at night
~playing in the rain
~jumping in puddles
~playing at the park
~the smell of rain on hot asphalt

* fall rain*

~ warm pjs
~ fuzzy socks
~ Netflix marathons
~ family
~ baking
~ soft blankies
~ wet colorful leaves
~ fires
~ comfort food

which explains our perfect, lazy, rainy Sunday. we watched movies and stayed in our pjs all day!!! my grandson watched "elf" with us and actually seemed to enjoy it!! for dinner we made Brunswick stew and baked pumpkin pie!!
it def was the perfect Sunday
* winter rain*

~SNOW!

please, it's cold outside, bring in your pets of possible!

I don't know about y'all, but..... It's feeling pretty frigid here in Georgia this evening!!
We live in an 850sg ft house..... Pretty tiny, huh? And even though it's a pain in the butt sometimes, we still bring our dogs in. I mean, think about it, right now with my daughter up, we have 5 humans. So, as cramped as it is.... Add a 65lb American bulldog and an old coon hound(who is an old nag) we have no kind of room left!!
But, we do it anyways.
I'm not saying you don't love your dogs or pets if you don't let em in. But, if your pets have to stay outside, please, make sure they have some type of shelter to escape the wind.
If they have a dog house, you can always throw extra blankets in there for them.
Here is another cool lil tip:
If your dog has to stay outside while it's cold, add additional food to their diet! Dogs burn more calories to stay warm!
Do you have any tips for people who can't bring their animals in?
Muahs!
