Rain rain, come today




It was raining a bit this morning before I left, so I grabbed my little sister’s umbrella and realized that umbrella’s are fascinating accessories that are virtually forgotten about. I loved holding that umbrella. After poking around a bit today on the internet, I also realized how many different designs and patterns umbrellas have. There are millions of umbrellas out there, just waiting for consumers to use them! It’s so weird, I even found a glow in the dark umbrella, so that as you are walking in the dark rain people will see you. There are people in this world who design umbrellas for a living, and today was the first time I’ve ever willingly taken an umbrella to actually use.



Also, thinking more about them, I pictured what it would be like to stroll along a private beach in the summer with an umbrella. I could have it either opened, like a parasol, or closed, just swinging it around.


On top of that, I can’t stop thinking about how umbrella is such a weird word.

  1. Nice ones. I love the one with the blue skies. Could be useful anyday, really. Also indoors.
