Had a great rainfall most of the night. Although I love the rain and it should make me sleep, It has been so drought-like that it actually wakes me up in anticipation of a more hopeful future. I remember back when rainy days made me lazy. Now they are unusually stimulating. What’s up with that?
Coffee was had at 4:45. I really tried to stay in bed until after 5 but oh well. I was hungry this morning. There was no way I was going to wait until 11 am for breakfast. It’s still raining. I have a hard time showering or eating if I don’t get some kind of outdoor activity first. It’s hard for me to imagine living in an area that you can’t go outside. It was imperative that I got the dogs out to pee and poo while it was sprinkling instead of pouring. Last time we had an all morning rain, Sargent couldn’t hold it any longer (ok we were down in the office and ignored his needs), he just let it go. We were downstairs in the office and Amy noticed that there was some rain leaking into the middle room. Wait…the middle room couldn’t possibly get rain. Not only that, but it was yellow. Turns out Sargent had to relieve himself and we were the recipients of yellow rain (not good no matter how you interpret this). Since that day, I have always made sure the dogs got their regular outings – rain OR shine.
That’s it…I need to eat. Today is bacon and eggs. Ok, not just ANY eggs. We had just enough of those leftover crab stuffed mushrooms to make another “Scrambled Madness”. Compliment this with bacon and toast, well ’nuff sed. Today is the big Prep day for the Seabury Craft Fair. Hope I will see some of you out there braving the weather. This weather condition is just trying to hang on long enough.
Lunch was a leftover heaven. Well, I have to admit I did add a small what not to it. Found the spaghetti squash that was left along with the amazing sauce. I knew this would not be enough food for all of us to I grabbed the leftover Cornish game hen and threw it in the pot. Along with that came 1/4 of a head of cabbage. What a lovely lunch.
Tomorrow (today by the time this is posted), is the annual Seabury Crafts Fair. Therefore, a lot of the energy today has been focused on preparation. We needed to set up our tent this afternoon so we could concentrate on interior decorating tomorrow. After the tent was set up, Mark and fam came over for a barbee fest. He had picked up some nice fillets and we found some cold water lobster claws. Looks like a little surf and turf to me. To compliment this meal we added Kale salad and steamed asparagus. Oh, I almost forgot…while at Costco, we found some chocolate dipped strawberries. Guess I don’t have to make my own for Mother’s Day.
