Rainy Day Aesthetics

Today it is raining, folks. After years of droughts, it's always a thrilling big deal when it rains, especially when it pours and then drizzles for an entire day. What richness!

Rain often brings forth the poetry out of me, so here is a quick little post, detailing aaaall the rainy day aesthetics that I love.

• Shadows. But not gloomy shadows - poetic shadows, that make you want to curl up in a corner with a book and snuggle under a fluffy blanket

• Moody, mellow lighting, with a yellow tint 

• Pages sticking together in books because of the moisture in the air

• Watching the rain droplets splash into the bird baths and ricochet off the ground

• Staring out at the misty, hazy fields and letting your brain wander, peacefully, tranquilly

• The unapologetic popularity of naps at any time

• The excited merriness of crickets and birds high above, chirping

• Cups chinking and teaspoons rattling as people step out of the kitchen with yet another warm beverage steaming in their hands

• Creativity abounding. Someone writing a story, someone finishing a puzzle, someone creating wonderful scents while lazily cooking in the kitchen

• The overwhelming urge to let out a deep sigh and relax your shoulders, drinking in the fresh air

• Cozy jumpers and ugly, baggy tracksuit pants that feel like a hug

• Candles, their bright flames wavering in the restless air

• A television murmuring in the distance, and music playing in the room beside you, all swept up in the undercurrent of the rain on the tin roof

• Watching the rain coax all the leaves off the branches, gracefully showering the ground with colours of autumn
