Pondering the Island Life

In the Pacific Northwest we make two types of plans, dry day plans and wet day plans. Of course dry is a relative thing, if its just sprinkling one wouldn't consider that a wet day. My weekend plans are:

Wet: make someone (who shall remain nameless but knows who she is) a Brighid doll. With regular breaks for archiving projects.

Dry: fixing the new "tunnel" in the rabbit pen, switching out the fences and trying to come up with a way to keep their pellet and hay dry.

So how about everyone else? Are your plans contingent upon rain or other suitably "out of your hands" kinds of things, not counting weather witching, of course!

Completely.

And, unfortunately, we rarely get just a sprinkle here, except occasionally in the wintertime. No, rain in Florida means a torrential downpour with lightning. It's not getting wet that worries me, it's getting killed.

My dry weather plans this weekend: Riding my horse and going to Adventure Island (water park).

Wet weather plans: huddling inside?

Have a great weekend!

Saturday: Regardless of the weather, Jay and I will be seeing the Louisville Ballet Company's performance of Beauty and the Beast. Before that, finishing the post-ritual tidying. After that . . . who knows?

Sunday: WORKING IN THE APT UNTIL WE DROP. PERIOD.

I'm just hoping for a day of non-precipitation next Friday.

I think I'd enjoy 'dry/wet' day plans down here in the South. The rain will eventually pick up, but right now it's mainly dry dry dry.

Although, the humidity is gone right now. And that, my dear, is a blessing. I am completely enjoying our weather. Sunny, mild, light breeze. In TN terms, that's pure heaven. :D

I have a pumpkin pie in the oven right now. I spent the early afternoon wit my HP having lunch at our local farmer's market and picked up the most amazing gourd rattle. Maybe a pic to follow later.

All in all, an excellent day so far.

Heh, when I lived in FL it was the storms I absolutely loved. Call me a nut, but it was the bomb. I could have lived without all that sun and humidity!

:D

Alas, no. I'm still yanking ivy out by the roots in the West Duwamish Greenbelt tomorrow, rain or shine.

Pretty much everything else I have planned this weekend is indoors or under cover. I do know some people who are planning to climb Mt. St. Helens regardless of the weather, though.

We have "barely raining", "really raining" and "flood from heaven" here.

Have fun, whatever you do, this weekend!

I know I live in a really bad place for this: but lightning terrifies me.

Having lived in both New York & Arizona (both pretty infamous for lightning storms), I sure do miss them.

Can't think in the last six years while I've lived in Washington that we've had more than two.
