A Rainy Day

It’s another rainy day. We did have a few beautiful sunny days with temps in the middle seventies, but today there was no sunrise. The sky was covered with clouds and the weatherman calling for rain. I hurried and dressed so I could hopefully get my walk before the rain started. I walked about an hour with the clouds growing darker by the minute and got back to my apartment before the sky opened up and the rain poured down. I did some cleaning and finished reading my book, At Risk by Patricia Cornwall, worked a few Sudoku and read my Readers Dijest , my brother gifted me a subscription. Now I’m on Mylot. Hope everyone in Mylot land had a good day.

Hi Ruby. I wish it would rain here. Rain would mean it wasn't minus 5 C outside. I have about 10 years worth of Readers Digest in the shed from the 80,s I must read them some day. Glad you got home before the heavens opened

Wish I could send you some rain. We’ve had more than enough. When I moved from the house to an apartment I left stacks of Readers Digest and other magazines in the attic. I don’t have room to keep magazines here so I take them to the free book box.

@JimBo452020 You’re right about Readers Digest . They have something for everybody.I hadn’t subscribed for awhile so my brother bought a subscription for me.

@RubyHawk Readers Digests are the best ever read. Something for everyone. Donating them when I am finished with them is what I will do. We haven't got room in the flat for them either.

We had a rainy day, around 50 degrees and I had to go do some shopping at a couple of stores. I'm glad it wasn't colder.

It rained off and on all day here today. It got into the 40's so that is better than what was expected.

No, we generally average between 4" and 6" a year. Houston, San Antonio and a few other more southern cities get a lot more.

Do you have warm rain? The rain that we experienced when we visited Charleston was unlike anything we'd ever encountered- like a tornado of water falling on us.

I haven't had a Reader's Digest for years, but enjoyed their large print edition when I did. At this time, I can only read short blurbs here and there, and I hate audio books, so I let it go.

I don’t like audio books either. If I couldn’t see to read I don’t know what I’d do to take the place of reading.

Thank you. I’m not an expert at Sudoku but I enjoy trying. I wasn’t sure Readers Digest still existed until my brother sent me a subscription. Now I get it every month.
