Wash it away

As I was browsing through my reader, I stumbled across the question from the Daily Prompt:

Safe inside, toasty warm, while water pitter-patters on the roof… describe your perfect, rainy afternoon.

Living in South Florida,  I get a lot of rainy afternoons – it seems like our rainy season lasts half the year.  Hands down, the perfect rainy afternoon would be one that happens after a bright, sunny morning spent on the beach.  There’s nothing more relaxing than spending the morning in the sun and ocean, coming home, washing the grime and sunscreen off and then snuggling under the covers with a book while it storms  like crazy outside.  Between feeling sunbleached and clean and a lot of howling rain hitting the windows, there’s no more perfect recipe to wash away any stress in your life (also, perfect recipe for a nap).  Some toasty, freshly-dried sheets would be an added bonus.
