anatomy of a rainy day
dismissing early from school for teacher planning day.
walking in the rain. well, some of us scooting.
cutting through the lonely park.
lunching on toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.
cuddling up on the couch for a reading lesson during the little one's nap.
(more about this tomorrow.)
watching the end of "Chicken Little" while the dough rises.
snacking on warm soft pretzels.
with dip.
still to come, dinner with good friends.

I'v really been enjoying your blog, Miss Mayfly. You capture such wonderful moments in your life. Those pretzels look simply amazing. I'm a BIG pretzel lover and have never found a recipe that worked out too well. Would you please share???

Duh -- I just saw the link! Thanks, Martha. :)

Mmm, those pretzels look so good. The recipe says to use a mixer with a dough hook. I don't have a stand mixer -- I wonder if I could do without. Do you have one?
Martha recipes always require things that I do not have. :)

Yum - I've got a pretzel craving now. And for one of those cute little yellow raincoats... and matching wellies... and a puddle to ride my scooter through.
Thanks for the little rainy day fantasy moment - my real life ones are much less photogenic!

Yesterday was a wonderful day for cuddling on the couch.
Unfortunately, by doing so I gave Griffin my head cold. Oops.

We had tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner last night. It was just that kind of a day, wasn't it? Those pretzels look delicious. You may just have to post the recipe.
Cheers!
