It’s raining! It’s been a long while since we’ve had a good rain. Today that changed. It was so hot and humid the past few days. Bad sleeping weather. The change in temperature is a amazing. It’s so cool now. I think I will take a nap soon. The past two days I’ve gotten off early due to the heat. Yesterday I went swimming in the St. Croix River. Oh man, did it feel good. I could swear I heard a sizzling sound as I entered the water.
So what do I do on a rainy day with my extra hours? Well, being the nerd that I am, I have a tendency to put my nose in a book. I found a German language textbook at a garage sale this summer. So I’ve started brushing up on my German! I also have checked out books from the library on home orchards and making cheese (two different books). Alexis, the other intern here, has a book on home made fermented foods, from saurkraut to yogurt to ginger beer! Oh, the ideas that are tumbling through my head.
So I definitely have a range of books to choose from. Being my father’s daughter I also have plenty of projects waiting for the inspiration/drive to strike me. There are a few belated birthday presents that need finishing. Though I may not be the most social this summer I am not lacking in things to do.
This week I’m planning on going to the county fair. I’m terribly excited. Like I said, I’m a nerd. But I’m embracing and enjoying my nerdiness!
