Another Rainy Day

Rain Drops on Nasturtium Leaves

Wednesday was another rainy day!  We had an atmospheric river known as the Pineapple Express (because it originates near Hawaii) bring about 0.24 inches of rain to my area of Los Angeles.  It was a slow rain, more of a drizzle than a heavy downpour, but, it was good and much appreciated.  There is more rain in the forecast for next week, as well.  Any rain is a blessing!

M delayed his visit until early afternoon, by which time the rain had ceased although it was misty.  He didn't need to water the plants; instead, he spent his time weeding and planting the rest of the succulents he had brought me earlier.

Today, I dusted the living room and tidied the dining area.  I made fried rice for brunch and went off the meal plan for dinner, warming up a piece of cooked salmon I had in the freezer and cooking some rice and vegetables (carrots, broccoli, green beans) to go with it.  

Aunt C called in the late afternoon and we had a nice chat.   

Later in the afternoon, I took a nap.

Today, I am grateful for:

- The rain we received
- M's help with the garden
- A working heater
- Electricity and gas to run the appliances
- Afternoon naps

Today's joyful activity was picking oranges from the tree in the garden and picking lemons to make lemonade.

How was your day?  What are your plans for tomorrow?
