Dark and Rainy Oregon Mondays

Susy is on vacation all week - yay for her!!! It's the random, use-it-or-lose-it end-of-year vacation choice, this one in honor of Thanksgiving. She is enjoying day one with a much-deserved sleep-in.
The kids were both moving slowly this morning. Andrew's lament over the darkness turned even sadder when he opened the door to see the rain pouring down.
The rains paused in time for Mali's journey to the bus stop (all the way to the corner - Andrew's jealous, his was (and is) farther). She was up an hour early, as usual, but it took her the whole hour before her normal morning perkiness surfaced, and even then it was a bit subdued. Mondays. Dark and rainy Oregon Mondays.
Moose has already had one paw-washing trip to the tub this morning. He may get a haircut today, to help combat the easy muddiness he comes by now. It's wet up here! The rains have hit their winter groove.
