Oh how I am sinking deeply into these rain soaked days at home! Padding around the house. Watching the little pools of water forming
outside in the garden. Every petal and leaf drenched. I could stare
out the window for hours. With all of the storms rolling in off the Pacific, one after the other, the snowpack high in the Sierras is growing
deeper and deeper. Its the source of our water. Sometimes things
that are good for the earth aren't so good for people. But for this person, all of those melodic raindrops are just fine.
And in the travel journal, more flaps with brochure-paper photos on back. The shiny bits came from the same little sewing shop that had the long strands of sequins.
I'm lazily scrolling through my photos and printing my favorites. I
have a lot to choose from. I used my Fuji point and shoot that's about the size of a matchbox. (the Nikon is way too bulky and heavy for travel)
I don't recommend it at all which is why I'm not mentioning its name. Seriously annoying features. Everything in miniature.
Maybe my big bear mitts are part of the problem. I prefer to blame the camera.
I’ll see your wet drippy window and raise you a barrel of rain.

Hope your hibiscuses (hibisci?) didn’t slide down the hill and your kittys kept dry through all the rain.
All the cactus and trees are happy now.

Wow. Your journal is amazing! I love everything about it. My Nikon is a beast, too, and can be a pain to lug around.
Me encantan tus páginas! and love the brown polka dot with the scalloped edges paper, is it from Merida?
Con cariño,
Herm
Loving those pages!! Enjoy the rain and keep your feet dry.
I just found your blog and your journals have captured me. They appear so random. By the looks of your traveling “kit” do you journal while traveling? I have years of travels piled up to “journal” and we all know when that will ever happen! Thank you for sharing. Keep creating…
Such beautiful journal pages!!! Oh, and with cameras, it is NEVER user error! 😉
I am loving the rain too! At least until I have I have to be out on the road with everyone who is freaked out about it! It sounds so lovely.
Your journal pages are so inspiring! Total eye candy.
I adore your journal pages!
So inspiring!
I am a little ways up in Lompoc and am thouroughly enjoying all the rain. We moved here from Florida in June and it is one thing I miss very much, pouring rain and lightning. I am trying to absorb it into my pores!
do you have puddle jumping boots? or more accurately puddle muddling boots? i adore mud puddles. jump in a few for me, okay?!
am lovin up your journal pages and glad to hear you are enjoying all of the rain. I love rainy days that make me want to curl up with a good book or get lost working on artwork. Rain at night is especially delightful to fall asleep too. It makes things grow and you are growing beautiful pages.
ahh…inspiration. i just drool over your journal pages…lol.
we are in a sleet mode today…nothing as intense as you guys but it’s cold again….alas.
looking out my own windows, just over the hill to the east of you on this wonderful rainy day, loving your journal pages, loving that somehow i found your dispatches…thank you.
Are you still off-track (school, I mean).
I love LA rainy days. I think i’ll get some of that brochure paper; I often find cheapo photo paper at Dollar Tree. I’m not a connoisseur so I don’t know from good papers in this case.
MaryAnn, How wonderful these pages are from your Journal. I can understand how you can just go through those pages there beautiful.You have rain I have cold and funny but the suns out for a change since last week we were snowed in it was not good for a person who live in Fla for 14 years, go figure.
Anyway’s have a great Day,
Linda
…I just LOVE looking at all your journal pages… they are wonderful… 🙂
