Between the recurring rain — eternal, daily, multiple-times-during-some-days-all-day-other-days rain — we tried to make the most of those periods without rain. Three mini-adventures:
1) The dog needs a walk, so I took him for a walk in the fields, and discovered once again why the fields sometimes emit such a strong odor of manure despite the relatively few cows grazing there.
2) Days like this in Polish are called “bar days.” Hardly an appropriate option for a six-year-old; hardly desirable when alone. So we found the obvious compromise: a “restaurant day.”
3) One former teacher/colleague is now the mayor of Lipnica; another is the director of the new Orawian cultural center in Jablonka. I set out to chat with him a few minutes and get a look at the center itself.
Not an ideal day, but what can one do on the sixth consecutive day of rain…
Your weather is not much different from ours lately….except we have very high humidity! Rain, rain and more rain….but then we’ll probably be praying for rain as the summer progresses.
But I’ll bet your temperature hasn’t been in the high-forties/low-fifites!
