A Melody

Waking up this morning was a chore...I love sleeping in on rainy days.

There is just something about rain that makes me want to snuggle in for the day. When we have children,I am going to teach them that a rainy day means movies, lots of snuggles, and tons of time as a family. Instead of rain meaning that the day is going to be dreadful, it will become a special day for all of us. I hope the 12 kids we will have, love our future rainy-day traditions. ;)

12 kids...ha! Oh how the carpenter would be surprised! 

Do you know what the best sound in the entire world is?

Rain on your rooftop.


My family owns a few small cabins in Algonquin Park, Canada. It is my favorite place to vacation. After driving about six hours to get to the lake, we then take a half hour boat ride to the cabins. 


Yes, you can only get to it by boat.

The definition of amazing.

There are no phones, tvs, or electric (other than the generator that we use at night). We bathe in the lake and go on canoe trips daily. It is wonderful.

Yet, I love this place infinitely more when there is a storm rolling through. The sound of the rain on the rooftop is such a beautiful noise to fall asleep to. Nature at its finest.

One thing I never expected, when we purchased this house, was to have a little piece of our Canadian haven, here in New York. The first night that it rained this past month, I about peed my pants. Well maybe not really, but I was pretty darn excited to say the least. Our bedroom has the perfect rain-on-the-rooftop sound!!

We don't have an attic, so we don't have that sound barrier between the roof and our bedroom.

Perfection.

The most simple things, make me ecstatic.

This house is a keeper.
