In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Rainy Days

Filed under: General — Rachel at 6:33 pm on Tuesday, January 11, 2005

Today was rainy, rainy, rainy. Makes me think of “Rainy days and Mondays”. Didn’t really get me down, just made me lazy today. I didn’t feel like doing anything, except maybe taking a nap. I worked out, and did the minutest of chores around the house. I feel like a bum, but oh well. Blame it on the rain.

Nothing much to talk about today.

Yesterday was a fun day, though. It was beautiful yesterday, and so warm! We went out and ate at KFC for lunch, went to Walmart, took the kids to the park, and then the kids and I went to my mom’s and played outside and ate supper with them, while Chris stayed home and played his video game. Kyra had so much fun at the park. We stopped and bought a loaf of bread on the way there, and we fed the ducks, geese, and seagulls. Kyra liked that. I did, too. It was kind of fun. One of the ducks bit Kyra’s hand. She was holding a piece of bread, and it just came up and tried to eat it. Kyra said, “Ouch! That duck bite my hand!”. It was kind of funny. Eli would have loved it, but he was asleep in the van the whole time. He was tuckered out. I’m gonna take them back, the next pretty day we have.

Riverfront Park’s playground has went down the pooper, lately. I don’t know what they are attempting to do, but the little playset Kyra loved so much is half torn down. The entire area where it is has been cemented. What in the world are they thinking of, cementing a kids’ play area? Are they trying to break kids’ bones? I can just hear the genious Harriman people’s logic….”Well, sure some kids might break some bones, and we might have some serious head wounds…but think of how much work we’re saving not having to refill the area with all that sand or bark!” Needless to say, we went to Roane County Park instead.

Well, Kyra is wanting some help with something, so I guess I better go fulfill my parental duties.
