Use this rainy season to bring Sunshine to a friend or neighbor

It's raining, have a day of Sunshine!

With so much rain, it seems almost impossible to have a conversation without talking about it. Here is how I'm dealing with it. For my neighbors and friends that are feeling down, because they say it makes them feel gloomy, this is what I do and it helps me too. I leave a colorful potted plant at their front door with a little note of encouragement. Sometimes I leave a tea cup and a tea bag with a fresh sprig of mint. You can also use this indoor time to read to your senior neighbors, remember, let them choose  the reading material. My neighbor next door and I are baking , for  my summer tea parties. There are so many summer projects that can bring sunshine on the inside, while there is so much rain on the outside. Have a day of Sunshine!
