On Saturday, as the rain fell in buckets from the pregnant gray sky, I was asked: "What do you dream of doing on a rainy day?"

Blogger Keri Smith has come up with a pretty good list of almost 100 creative ideas. Here are some more of my own:

Invent a dessert. I made an angel food cake with pears, mango, and chocolate.
Splash in a puddle. Then write a poem about wet feet.
Clean out your backpack, wallet, or pockets. Stick all the scraps of paper you find into a blank notebook, and make a word collage of your recent trails.
Listen to your favorite song. Then write your own, using one of the lines you like best.
Play Scrabble in a foreign language. It's not as difficult as you think. A lot of words in English are borrowed from other languages. 

The forecast calls for rain for the rest of this week and the Farmer's Almanac says it's going to be a long, cold winter.  Guess I'll just keep working my way down my own list - and adding to it! Any suggestions?
