It's raining here all weekend. I just finished up some reports for work, and what I'm really dying to do is just sit and read a book. I'm wondering what you look forward to doing on rainy days. (Or I guess any day...)

Reading is by far my favorite activity. It’s rainy days that make me want a comfy couch for our back patio, not the near constant sunshine of Texas.

Ummm, we need the ability to vote for more than one activity.

I love to curl up and read a good book on a rainy day. I'm one of those weird people who love rainy days!

I like to read or to scrapbook or to bake. Depends on my mood. Today I cleaned out some closets, but now I plan to read.

I would vote for reading. Nothing better in my book than curling up with a great book (ha! ha!) and reading on a rainy day. With my cup of coffee and kitty snuggled in my lap it's perfection.

I love to curl up and read a good book on a rainy day. I'm one of those weird people who love rainy days! Me too! All of my fellow California residents are warning me about the amount of rain I will encounter when I move to Oregon. (As if I hadn't researched the town I want to move to in great detail!) I just laugh and tell them that I'm looking forward to the rain! I have waterproof boots and a huge umbrella and my plan is to go for long walks in the rain, then come home and curl up with a blanket and my Kindle and read. Maybe on the covered front porch so that I can still enjoy listening to the rain. I even bought boots and a rain jacket for my pup! |

Scrapbooking
Drinking hot tea and watching the rain through my sliding door.

Other - scrapbook.
It's a rainy Sunday morning here, and I am sitting in bed with a cup of coffee, Peaing and scrapbooking. I plan to do that all day! But I will migrate to the couch shortly.

I live in England, and it rains most days. I’m in the Seattle area and I was thinking - rainy day activity? Lol Same as any other day, really. I like to scrapbook, surf the internet, do yoga/workout, play games, bake, “read” cookbooks. |

Reading, genealogy, board/card games, movies, crafting.
But if I had to pick my most common choice--then reading it would be.

To sit on a covered, front porch in the rain - sounds like pure heaven to me. Reading is my favorite thing to do, other than being able to see or at least, hear the rain. |

Sleep. Sleeping during the day is great when it's raining. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything and my plants are getting watered.

My favorite rainy day activity is to complain. I hate rain and am in such a bad mood when it rains. But if I was home alone, I would clean. If the family is home, I can't get much done, especially if we are all trapped inside. I hope to get some ideas from what others do on rainy days. I'm not a big tv watcher, except for the news, so I don't have any shows that I watch.

Puzzles are usually my go to for rainy days.
If I don't have a new puzzle, knitting or blackwork (similar to cross stitch), is what I pull out.

Oh how I wish that it would rain.
100 degrees yesterday
94 right now
I love the rain, so I like to celebrate those moments. I like to write.
Things feel more put together when it rains. The sky meeting the earth.
I hear Washington state calling and I can’t get there from California fast enough.

I feel like we don't get rain very often, so when it does rain, I just do indoor activities I have put off.
