Rainy day splashes in "muddles"

I came dangerously close to not having a photo from last week. Sunday, my normal photo day, arrived Cold, Wet, and Miserable. Tim and the Peanut were off having a Daddy/Daughter Date so Little Pea and I were left to our own devices.

All I wanted to do in the world was curl up on the couch, cozy and warm, and read my new book. But I've done a good job so far this year of keeping to this project. I didn't want this to be the week I failed at capturing an outdoor image.

With the mental promise to myself that it only had to be for enough minutes to get the photo, I bundled Little Pea up and out we went into the pouring rain for some "muddle jumping" as she called it.

The delight on her face was contagious. I was drenched by the time I insisted we go back in but it was worth every chilly drop that landed on us.
