We are having rain in the mountains – a rare phenomenon in Northern CA – so I wrote about it in my journal this morning. To answer your question:
~ books of course – especially re-reads
~ watching the fire in my fire place
~ tea: not just a mug of = I get out my china, cream and sugar in a delicate set that belonged to my mom, silver spoon and sit at my table with my book and enjoy
~ and I have just discovered as my husband just mentioned it: eating breakfast on a little porch that has a skylight roof so we are rained on without getting wet ~ enjoy your rainy days

Just a comment on the “rain” in the Dancing in the Rain photo, they actually used milk during production because it looked more like rain. I always thought that was funny, dancing in the milk.

Thanks for a weather Quick 10! Today at work I forecasted thunderstorms and as of now I’m really wrong. I’m usually satisfied if I was right about the potential for them and there is definitely the potential.

My rainy days: The comfy chair by the window, a good book, and I spend the day together.

I currently live in Hawaii due to military commitments, used to live in VA, but I’m originally from VT and I miss thunderstorms so much! Apparently Hawaii doesn’t get them that often (last time they did all of Oahu lost power and I was back home in VT for Christmas, go figure). In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than a thunder and lightening storm over the ocean. Sigh, I really miss them now.

Oh, and great fact about showers. I had no idea it was a function of cloud type–I just thought it was rain for a short duration or scattered area. Nice!

And I don’t feel rainy days need to be “salvaged”. Of course, I’m a grad student, and weather is really irrelevant to me because I’m usually inside reading something anyway.

Great Quick 10! I love rain–and thunderstorms (not so much the severe ones, just the normal ones). Show some love to your Iowa farmers–they’re probably pretty happy for some sustained rainfall (unless they’re not done planting–and then they’ll probably join you in hoping your Quick 10 appeased the rain gods!)

It’s raining here too (Wellington, New Zealand)! It’s such a lovely sound, and the best one to sleep by.

Rainy days…if on a weekend, it’s a good excuse to stay home (as wind often accompanies the rain here, making umbrellas completely useless) and catch up on Mental Floss. And nap, of course!

I have few pet peeves but people complaining about rain is one. I love rainy days. You don’t have to stay inside. It is just rain. It won’t hurt you. Have fun go outside in the rain. Just don’t dance…that lame.

You kids and your complaining about rain. I hate living in the desert.
