Rainy Day Blues?

The view from our place

There is something about rainy days in the Bay Area that remind me of monsoon season in Karachi. The clean look of the ground, the smell of wet soil, the sounds of birds chirping and the gray skies harold new beginnings. I like to welcome spring with all the pomp and circumstance it deserves. The following are a few traditions I hold dear to my heart and some new activities I like to be part of during rainy season. Enjoy!

1. Eat pakoras

2. Plant pots

3. Watch T.V. or listen to music

4. Put on a face mask and walk around in my living room

5. Park my car outside so it can get washed

6. Surf online

7. Read or write (especially on my blog!) 

... and if you want to go outside and play in the rain, go ahead, grab your rain boots and raincoat and jump in the puddles till you feel like young like a child.

But before you go, what are your favorite rainy day activities?
