It was dreary and rainy all day in our little bit of the mountains. Most of the day there was just a steady, gentle rain, barely audible on the roof, but enough to motivate me to start a fire. By the mid afternoon, the house was cosy, and the gentle drizzle had turned into a heavy downpour. Christian was taking a nap, I was cleaning out my closet, and Tessie was keeping me company. It was the perfect moment for a little snack.
I perused our inventory and came up with the perfect snack. I made a small plate of nachos, and walked back upstairs. Tessie was playing in my closet, and I surprised her with the plate of nachos. I sat down next to her on the carpet, and we dove in. Tessie's eyes grew wide with her first bite, and I realized it was the first time she had ever had nachos. My closet is tucked into the rafters, and so the rain was loud on the metal roof overhead. By this time, thunder was rumbling around us, and it felt like we were in a cave, just me and my little girl. She was ridiculously cute, eating each nacho slowly, mumbling "mmmm, cheeeesy..." She melted my heart, and totally made my day. I can't think of a more perfectly beautiful way I could have spent a rainy afternoon.
