- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite way to make the most of a rainy day. Do you catch a movie? Curl up with a book (or blog)? Or just sit and dream about filling up a rain barrel?

RAIN ON ME!
Is there any better way to spend a rainy day than curled up on the couch with a hot beverage, popcorn and a movie? Unless of course it’s one of those great summer rainstorms that inspire dancing in the rain …

Stacy of KSW says
RAIN ON ME!
Rainy days are perfect for snuggling with my three kiddos we make forts out of blankets and pillows on the floor and read and make shadow puppets with flashlights. The kids love it and so do I!
Crossing my fingers I score that handsome Mocha Cascata, it would be the perfect solution to watering my flowers when the Stage 3 drought conditions kick in (you can only water the yard once every other WEEK!)
Thanks for a fabulous giveaway

My favorite rainy day activity is to just be lazy – whether that means I get the rare chance to curl up with a good book or great movie, I appreciate the time to just chillax!

I make the most of a rainy day by doing crafts & reading magazines while watching Sixteen Candles, Dirty Dancing, You’ve Got Mail, The Godfather II & Ferris Beuller’s Day Off (not necessarily in that order).
