Chilled to the bone, waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to come out. I am told it might be a long, long wait as this is Belgium and rain is the norm. Though the weather was fairly nice in August, with temps in the 70's F (20's C), this first fall is proving to be quite chilly. What makes it even colder is the high humidity. So much humidity and rain, that the ground has not dried out since we arrived August 11th, and even when there were two warm, sunny days in a row, I still tracked moisture from the grass in the back yard into the house.
With so many days being like today, I am learning what layering means (being from Florida, layering on was not something we did very much ... In fact, quite the opposite!) But even with sweaters and socks, today's kind of chill still seems to seep through to the bones. To help counter the chill, I have kept the kettle going all day. The dogs and I are cuddled on the couch under a throw as I sip warm cups of tea while I write this blog.
So tonight I am making a nice, hot chicken soup for dinner. Perhaps that will help abate the chill.
