Rainy Days

It has been rainy since yesterday, most of the snow outside has melted, and everything is brown and gloomy. But I must say that I really am enjoying it! I guess I missed the rain...and rain means that SPRING is here! It's so peaceful in our apartment today with the lights on and the quiet drip-dropping sound outside.
A month ago, it was impossible to even tell that there is a pond outside because it was covered with so much snow. But now it looks like our pond is melting...and maybe our little beaver friend will come out to play soon! That is, if he survived the frigid cold. I actually googled beavers this morning to see what they do all winter(I know, totally dorky). Apparently beavers don't hibernate, but are active all winter long, swimming around under the ice and eating the food stored up in their little lodges. Pretty miraculous!
Anyway, I can't wait till everything turns GREEN!

  1. Those crazy beavers storing food in their cache. haha... How did people survive before GOOGLE, right? I think I might have lost sleep thinking about what that beaver was doing all winter...OR wondering if he was okay. I'm so glad to know that he is under there, just eating and swimming and carrying on. I agree, miraculous! :)
