It's raining here in Wisconsin today. Nothing unusual. I'm actually glad that it's raining today. The lawn and gardens were really getting dry. If it hadn't rained today, I would have had to get out the sprinklers to water everything. I spent the day yesterday planting 100's of plants which I'm sure are reveling in this rain. Now I just have to figure out an indoor activity for today. I could organize the drawers in the kitchen. I could clean. Or I could read. Or I could decide on a new crocheting project. I think I'll read....at least for a while. My husband can't understand how I could possibly waste even a moment of my time reading or crocheting but I love both activities. After a long hectic weekend, doing absolutely nothing sounds remarkably good.

Cliche of the Day

Time to Kill. A period when one is unable to do what one had planned and must look for a diversion. The thought of killing time usually carries with it eh notion that one will spend the time doing something frivolous or entertaining. That thought is reflected in The Provok'd Husband, a play by Sir John Vanbrugh and Colley Cibber (1728): "What think you, if we three sat soberly down to kill an hour at ombre?" (Ombre was a three-person card game that was quite popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.)
