Beautiful Noise........






I just love Neil Diamond and I listen to him loud & often! lol Today I woke up to my own beautiful noise...........rain. It doesn't happen very often, so I enjoyed every moment of it. I put on a Frank Sinatra (love him too!) Christmas CD, made a pot of coffee, and got a nice comfy seat to watch the rain.........then of course, being the faithful blogger that I am, I ran out into it to get photo's to share with you too! The last photo is of Paris Fifi all snuggled in for a rainy day nap........as you do. Move over Paris, Mummy is tired too.....zzzzzzzzzz

That photo of Fifi is so so so cute!! We get rain ALL THE TIME here near Seattle....but...when I lived in Colorado we got FEET of snow...so I'd rather have the rain...it's easier to get around in!
Love,
Robin

I love the rain and I really love to curl up on the couch with my trusty best friend Coco Chenille.
She usually hogs the covers. I think she would love to play with FiFi Paris, that is such a cute name and she is just a darling doggie. :) Bren

Good Morning Amanda,
Awwww, the sound of rain. Isn't is wonderful to sit and listen to it fall and watch it all? Rainy days makes me sleepy too. You sure do have alot of pretty green plants there where you live. Your Fifi looks so comfy and relaxed. I would be there right beside her snoozing too. We are suppose to get some more rain this weekend. They said Monday night it might be ice, but now it has changed to just rain. Who knows, we will have to wait and see. Weather around here is hard to predict sometimes. One never knows what to expect from day to day. Well, take care my friend and have a great Wednesday. May God Bless You and Yours.

Hugs,
Karen H.

Amanda,

Thanks so much for the kind words! I know what you mean about it being addicting. i have been a blog reader for quite a while now as my Aunt Heidi has several blogs. I figured this would be an easy way to keep my husband posted on what's going on over here and a quick place for him to see pictures! I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts! And you puppy is just adorable!

Best wishes!
Mandie

Love your sweet puppy. Love the rain, too.

I love the sound of the rain as well. There is something so comforting about that sound. When I was in Oz last May, I had clear skies the entire time except for the drizzle on the day I arrived. It made for a good vacation but didn't help the water shortage.

Good Morning Again Amanda,
Coming back by to let you know if you have time to stop by. I have something waiting for you there. You will have to scroll down to the second post to see it. Blogger was being bad to me today. Take care my friend and have a great Wednesday. May God Bless You and Yours.

Hugs,
Karen H.

Hysterical...Fifi thinks she is a people (as my kids would say). I wouldn't mind curling up right next to her. She knows what to do on a rainy day. Susan

I love Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra too! ND was one of my mom's favorites (still is) and well Frank, he's my dad's favorite. Good old Italian boy named Frank. Same as my daddy!

We had a ton of rain on Monday and I'm done with it. But it could be worse...we could have snow and ice. No thanks!

Love,
Julie
p.s. - Paris Fifi is adorable!

My computer is only loading the first 1/2 of your post, so I will comment on that!

My hubs is a big Neil fan also. Also the Carpenters. I like them both because they remind me of my hubby.

We have the Frank Christmas CD also and are enjoying it quite a bit. I love the stylized music and orchestra sound!

Hi Amanda! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and introducing yourself! I'm so glad you did! Fifi's got the right idea about what to do on a rainy day! Have a great week! ~ Lynda (Hedgerow Hollow) ♥

I love rainy day naps...make room for me too Paris Fifi! LOL. Glad you got rain...hope we both get more soon.

Your tropical snowfall is so lovely. I have several pear trees that produce tons of white blooms in the spring. When the wind blows it does look like a snow shower.

Hope you had a great day:)

Oh, I love a rainy day....(a fella named Eddie Rabbit sang that song back in the 80's). I really do love the rain. Just love it. So glad you received some and enjoyed it, too.
Your Fifi is so sweet....
hugs, bj

Jan said...

Amanda! Paris Fifi looks snug as a bug! What a cute little thing!
I love the rain and like you, we get it none too often here in Arizona! When we do it's a good book and a snooze for me!

Your life sounds so good! I love the rain too. Your puppy is so cute! I grew up listening to Neil Diamond and I love his voice.

Hugs, Sharon

Esther Sunday said...

Your killing me with these pictures. Yeah, another six inches of snow for us tonight. Your dog is like mine - they don't know they are dogs. Love, your friend from Up Over - Esther

Linda said...

I love the rain....for me it is a perfect time to get all cozy and read a good book.
You are right, the little dog in the green coat does look like Paris Fifi and my dog Lily too. Linda

Such sweet pets - know they must live well in your lovely cottage - especially tucked under blankets on rainy days. Please send the rain this way - we are so parched and only have enough water until Jan., the situation is getting desperate here in North Carolina.

Know what you were talking about when you mentioned having the camera attached to one's body - mine goes everywhere too, just in case I see something beautiful or interesting to share - digital sure changes one's perspective on life!

Have a wonderful day.

Absolutely too cute!!!! Grace loves puppies, so she's staring at the screen right now (and waiting for Mom to go to the Playhouse Disney site, LOL!). Very cute! :o)

That last photo gave me such a smile. There is nothing more content than that! Oh how I love to curl up on a rainy day and listen to the drops hit the window! Paris FiFi knows that all too well!

Hugs,
