Rainy day

By Anna | July 10, 2008

Despite a storm and rain I had a really nice day today. Maybe it is actually because it was rainy and stormy. I like rainy days. I came back home earlier, Kuba fell asleep on the way home, my husband was taking pictures in Chicago and I had some time just for myself. It felt good. I was sitting and what was unusual for me was I was doing nothing. I had a lot of plans (as always), but instead of completing any of them I decided to slow down and relax. After my son woke up I took him for a walk. I spend a lot of time with him and we often go for a walk, but today I didn’t think about the tons of things I had to do. I didn’t worry that I had to go to the grocery store, cook and spend another night in front of the computer. I just enjoyed this walk. I felt something I didn’t feel for a long time – peace. I picked some wild flowers and they smelled so good! I watched frogs with Kuba in a little pond and we looked for a fish in a little river. I felt like lying in a meadow, smelling flowers and watching fast moving, dark clouds. I needed a brake from the hustle and bustle of my every day life. After we came back home, we watched rain and a big storm through the windows while eating a cake my mom baked today. And now, while writing this post we’re having the most beautiful sunset I’ve seen for a long time. Great colors on one side and a rainbow with lighting on the opposite side of the sky. I wish you could see it.

I ran outside and took some pictures with my point and shoot camera. The colors are not intense like they really were but at least you can see how beautiful it was. (the pictures are straight out of the camera, no Photoshop).

East side. I’ve never seen a rainbow and lightings in the same time. Have you?
