Staying Dry

February 10 is National Umbrella Day!
When I visited England a few years ago, I was chuffed to have remembered a mini-umbrella, which I carried in my tote bag every day, all day.

The only time it rained, however, was when we were touring the city of Bath, and it was such a light drizzle that I didn't even use it.

To keep the sun off myself, I wear a hat with a wide brim.

If you look in the back seat of The Cat Car, you'll find two or three compact umbrellas, just in case.

And you'll never guess how many times I've been caught in the rain while on my 'hood walks!

Yet, if I anticipate rain and grab my umbrella...it rarely actually rains.

Brolly ☂

☂️10 February was National Umbrella Day🌂

Celebrating doesn’t require rain; enjoy a cocktail with an umbrella, watch a related movie ("Singing in the Rain" anyone?), or simply appreciate the umbrella’s design and history.

A search on my photo library pulled up the following:

"The Gentlemen Statues" by Ju Ming, 2015, at the AMA Plaza, Chicago.

Unknown artist, found on the interwebs.
"Paris Street; Rainy Day" by Gustave Caillebotte, 1877, displayed at Chicago Institute of Art.
