Woke up to a much cooler, very grey, rainy day today.  And all of the various weather reporters are in agreement that this is how it will be for the entire day. Sometimes heavier rain, sometimes lighter, sometimes more wind, other times less, but wet and gloomy throughout.  Finally, it feels like autumn in New England :)  Well without the brilliant colours of leaves of course.  I even have a bowl of apples on my kitchen counter !  Happy Autumn Friday I guess.

And as far as I'm concerned rainy days mean one of three things:  napping, reading or baking.  Today I'm shooting for all three.  I will start with baking and when I'm done move to reading which inevitably will end up with napping.  Perhaps not the most productive day I've ever had, but I absolutely love baking on a rainy day.  

Not sure why. Perhaps it's the contrast between the cool, quiet, earthy fragrant, darkness outside and the bright, bustling, warm and wonderfully scented inside.  Or maybe it that like a rainy outside day kind of means a forced inside day so I have the perfect excuse to spend the day elbow deep in a big bowl of dough.  Which is my happy place!

So with my mission before me, I think I will leave you with a wish for a terrific weekend and a few photos of a recent sunset since it's very obvious that there will be no spectacular sunset tonight.  At least not here.  Hugs all 'round.
