Day 93 - April 3, 2010

Hooray for our first kayak of the season! Because of all the rain we've had up here, the wildlife preserve in Cromwell was totally flooded, and made for some amazing kayaking! Trees were half covered with water from the Connecticut River, and it was fun to paddle anywhere you wanted, including in between trees! We took Daisy out for a ride too - she's still getting used to the whole idea of sitting in a kayak though. Once she's in, she's pretty good, but getting her to get into the kayak is a totally different story altogether. I definitely hope we can get out there again soon - it's so relaxing and peaceful to be out on the water! If you've never been kayaking, definitely get out there and give it a try!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 88 - March 29, 2010

So here in CT we are back to the rainy weather. There are parts of the state that have been hit hard. I think I did a double take this morning when the weather guy said that some parts were going to get around 3-6 inches of rain! Whoa Nellie! Anyways, tonight, my mom, sisters, and I went down to the outlets in Westbrook to do a little shopping together. Thankfully, most of the outlets had covered walkways, but every so often we had to walk through the little courtyard areas to get to the other side. At least it wasn't pouring rain while we were there - just a light drizzle. Hopefully this rain stops tomorrow! It can sure get depressing having every day be so gray!

Until Tomorrow,

Athina

Day 74 - March 15, 2010

Rain rain, go away! Come again some other day! Like never! It's been raining here for 3 or 4 days straight now, and I'm ready for the rain to just be done. Granted, we haven't received the brunt of the rain, like some other folks, but it's still getting a bit annoying. I don't mind rain, just not this much. I am definitely ready to see the sun again! The rest of this week is supposed to be nice, which is good. The really crummy thing about rain is that our driveway has a divot where the rain water collects right near where the passenger side door of the car is when we park it in the driveway. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten out and "sploosh!" Nothing like wet squishy shoes to make your day...

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
