Rain, Rain Go Away

August 13, 2009 at 9:20 am by Claudia

Enough, already. Rain and more rain…thunderstorms, power outages, humidity. Welcome to the Hudson Valley in August. Frankly, I’m trying to be tolerant, but failing. My poor husband, who has been here all summer enduring much more rain than usual, is beyond tired of it.

And these guys?

Bored.

Wants to go for a walk.
Sorry, little ones…too wet outside. Maybe I’ll try some sewing. My little sewing nook is lovely but its home in the hallway with no A/C limits my time there in the summer. But today is dark and rainy…so perhaps it will be cool enough to create something? Cross your fingers.

Rain…and More Rain!

July 29, 2009 at 9:11 am by Claudia

The weather report? Thunderstorms and rain for the next 6 days. Now, I love a thunderstorm, especially a summer one – although Scout is so fearful of them that we spend most of our time trying to comfort her – but 6 days of them is a bit much. I have to grab some time this morning to mow before the skies open up.

Rain does leave beautiful drops on the flowers, though, doesn’t it?

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
