rain, rain . . .

so today . . . it rained. it is supposed to rain tomorrow too. that means i will spend most of the weekend in the house. i could go out in the rain, but since it is the weekend, i don't have to. my plan is to work on organizing my digital photos (which i am pretty sure is a project that will never be finished) and spend some serious time reading a book in front of the fire.

but i will have to go out into the rain a few times, because milo won't go out by himself if it is raining. he will sit by the doggie door until i see him and put on my shoes and coat, and get my umbrella. sometimes that is enough to get him to venture out on his own--of course i am left standing in the family room in my shoes and coat and umbrella . . . but if it is raining hard, i actually have to go out into the rain before he will brave the elements. mia doesn't like the rain either--it scares her. if she had her way, she would have spent the entire day in someone's lap.

their preferred activity on a day like this is to sleep--which is what they did most of the afternoon. now that i think about it, that was an excellent idea. maybe i should plan some time for a nap tomorrow too . . .**milo's favorite spot to sleep, if no lap is available**

**this is the best picture i have of mia sleeping. she is impossible to sneak up on, even when she is sleeping**
