And the rain continues. The temps hovered in the low 60s (F) yesterday, and today is going to be a repeat. The forecast called for showers this morning. What we're really getting is periods of steady rain, with the occasional moments of light, misty rain. Looking out the picture window in my writing room, I feels as though Central PA has been relocated to the Northern Pacific, somewhere just east of the Olympic peninsula. Weather forecasters are calling for an end to the rain tomorrow, and Friday is supposed to be nice.
One thing all of this rain does bring is mud, I can vouch for the veracity of that statement because I have a 9 month old Labrador, a water dog, a breed that enjoys digging in the dirt, or, when we have steady rain for 2 days, the mud. Howie was a real mess this morning; cleanup was both interesting and messy. One of the smart things I did was buy a large, washable area rug with a brown pattern for my kitchen. My neighbor, on the other hand, choosing to try and be stylish rather than practical, put a white area rug in her kitchen. Her family has a Golden Doodle, another breed that given the chance will dig, so I'm suspecting that by now that area rug is fifty shades of mud.
I made a pizza for dinner last evening, or maybe I should say that I made the pizza dough from scratch. I used to make pizza rather frequently, and as I was putting on the toppings I reminded myself how versatile a meal pizza can be. You don't always need tomato sauce and pepperoni for toppings. Anyway, I dumped on too much cheese, but then I like cheese. My toppings were: black olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni, and, as I said, a lot of cheese. Here's what it looked like when it came out of the oven.
