Favorite kind of day

I know I have said it here many times before, but it just bears repeating. I LOVE RAINY DAYS!! And this one has been exceptional. Woke up very early 6:30ish to thunder and it has been raining, thundering and lightning ever since. I am currently sitting on the deck, listening to the wind as it blows over the mountain and through my trees and the rain as it continues to fall. Everything is this beautiful shade of green which is such a treat considering it is August and things are usually a drab brown, having burned up from the heat and lack of rain.

The birds are finally hungry enough to venture to the feeders, bless their hearts, they are all so waterlogged. But the cardinals are still beautiful and I never get tired of watching them along with all the other types who feed regularly on the sunflower seeds I provide.

Miss Kitty is rubbing against my legs, she is glad to have some company. For a cat that came with the house when we bought it, she is a pretty good one. A little stubborn, but very low maintenance. I just wish I could convince her to come indoors when it gets really cold. She just won't leave the deck, it is her domain and she guards it well.

We had Jerrod and Lyndsay over last night for dinner. Her tummy is getting so big! I saw the nursery a couple of days ago. Her bedding is absolutely beautiful! A woman here in Greenwood made it all, including the sheets which are so amazingly soft, I want a set!! It will be fun to have a new little one so close and get to play with. I think I will consider it is an internship for when we get grandchildren. Someday.....

There is a white throated hummingbird at the feeder right now, drinking away and chirping. I love to watch them and there are so many different varieties! Some have yellow necks, some red and they are so territorial!! I should probably put up another feeder, just so they don't fight over the one so much.

Now Miss Kitty has jumped onto the table and is rubbing against the laptop, guess she is wanting a little more attention than I am giving her. So, as the thunder continues to roll and the rain to fall, I will end this, sit quietly with her on my lap and be thankful. It is after all, a beautiful day.
