Not a day for breathtaking vistas...

Early this morning on Izzy and my walk, I could not wait to take pictures of the mountains.  I imagined it to be even more incredible from yesterday... this is what I saw.  Nothing but fog and clouds.  It sprinkled as my neighbor and I walked our dogs together.  After one lap around the block, it began to become a light rain, and since I noticed Izzy's red slicker spotted with big drops of rain, I decided one lap was enough...

By the time I was sitting down eating my breakfast, reading the paper, and Izzy was chomping on her kibble, it was POURING RAIN!  I busied myself with laundry and cleaning after being gone five days as Izzy romped around the house playing with her toys, leaving them scattered around like a two year old.

I put her in her crate a little before 11AM and went off to my Art Class.  Just after our instructor arrived, after helping her carry in all her supplies, the sky opened up and we watched a monsoon of a rain cascade from the heavens.  Everyone stood admiring the rain.  This month alone, we have surpassed the entire twelve months of last year in rainfall.  I am so anxious to see the mountains...

Tonight, Izzy and I dine alone as my hubby has a big meeting at the Ritz Carlton in Lake Las Vegas.  I am busy with my decluttering and simplifying.  Less is more.  I have such a strong force within me to lighten our load.  It is one of my most favorite pastimes, on rainy days, to putter in the house and get things accomplished...
