A Windy Rain Storm Day

After or mid peak foliage, it is not unusual for the weather to have a windy rain storm that washes away a lot of leaves. Today is such a day.

No matter for me because I need to rest my pulled side muscle (internal oblique muscle) that’s between a first and second degree strain given the pain and discomfort. I did so much yesterday, resting and ibuprofen are a must today. If no improvement tomorrow, then I’ll have it looked at. 

There are standing tasks in moderation that I can do without causing discomfort. There’s also reading to catch up on.

In that regard, I’m pleased that after years of thinking about it, I’ve moved furniture to clear space for a comfortable reading chair by the patio window. South facing, in the winter, the sun lights up the room. It is also a pleasant place to watch the snow fall. On blustery cold days, I can put my laptop on a side table in front of me, and watch a video of a fireplace to create a warm cabin vibe.

Do you have a reading nook? A comfy place by a window?  

Geraniums still going strong in October
