Today we awoke to rain, rain, and more rain. It didn’t look like it was going to slow down anytime soon and Karma was insisting that she needed to have her outdoor time. So, Ruthi had to put on long pants (her indication that it is winter), a sweatshirt and rain-proof overcoat. Off they went in search of the perfect spot for Karma to stain. The parts of the road and pathways were flooded a couple inches. Good thing Ruthi had on flip flops! As long as they were soaked anyway they did the full 30 minute walk.
If you live in a stick-built house and aren’t working, you might think “great” we can sit around the fireplace/tv/good book. Well, rain interferes with satellite receivers (raindrops disturb the content). A fireplace, while an option in some RVs, isn’t the best use of space or weight (in our opinion). Now, a good book option we have. Under the bed are 2 long deep storage spaces. We have a lot books stored there. Anytime we are near a thrift shop or used book store, we search for books.
Since Karma can’t read and rain brings all sorts of interesting new smells and sounds, cuddling up with a good book isn’t exactly serene. About 3-5 lines into the book, Karma decides that even though she just came back from a very productive walk she might need to do “duty” again. Trying to convince her that we’ll go out during the next pause in rainfall is a challenge!
