This past Sunday I woke up to a rainy morning, but it was not cold. I decided to meet my friend S for our regular walk. I donned my raincoat and set out in the pouring rain.
On the way, I saw this car pull into a driveway then I heard the heartiest laughter, it was this lady getting out of her car. Another lady came out of the driver's seat with a smile on her face too. They said a happy hello to me. Further on, this middle-aged couple sat inside their garage, they seemed to be working on their lawnmower.
I admired the beautiful fall leaves around me thinking the reds and burgundies were my favourite. A few tiny birds were flitting from branch to branch, they always make me think of Disney movies. Then for some reason I thought of the song by Neil Diamond 'Sweet Caroline'.
Soon enough, S arrived at our meeting spot, she was wearing her flowered rainboots and carried her umbrella. It wasn't long before the rain held up. So that was my happy morning, albeit walking in the rain!

Glad you had a happy time, I have been walking a lot in the rain these past 2 days! Hugs, Valerie
You are proof that, even if the weather is bad, you can have an enjoyable walk. I like your idea of 'just get out there'. :)
No fall leaves here, but we've had rain all day.
Lovely post, sometimes walking in the rain is the best. Happy weekend to you :0)
Obviously the laughing ladies rubbed off on you. Good for them:) BTW you had a lucky escape. I very very almost came over to Toronto this week for work.
Sounds like a really lovely time!
That is a lovely day you wrote about.
Walking in The Rain...great music and beautiful.
My sisters and I love walking in the rain...but not if there is lightning :}
A beautiful and uplifting post, Christine and with a lovely photo.
I also like the way you think of Disney when you see the little birds...enchanting~
Would be pleased to meet up with you next time Anna!
What a lovely story; thanks for the smile on my face.
It must be nice walking in your neighborhood. Good that you have a friend to walk with. Count your blessings.
It sounds like a very happy morning indeed, your story brought a smile to my face! I love the rain, if I don't need to drive in it...
