Rainy Days on Saturday

And there was rain. Lovely rain. Read-a-book-curl-up-on-the-couch rain. And, you see, I've just gotten red rain boots-galoshes-muck boots-wellies. The rain was Providence giving me a gift- "Wear the boots." The boots are the direct inspiration/imitation from Ramona Quimby (age 8, among others). What are fantastic character (double meaning in that word)! Ramona is adventurous and brave and carefree. I love the books, adore the movie, and worship the movie's stylist. Haven't you seen it? Apart from being too entertaining to not watch weekly, I want to rip every outfit right off of Ginnifer Goodwin (followed by replacing her in all her scenes with Josh Duhamel). In short, I recommend it. As for Ramona, her red boots are nearly a character in themselves. She prizes them above all. And I prize my reds too. The boots cannot help but make any rain a lovely rain.
