the little umbrella that could

Being in the Pacific Northwest, we don't really have much of a choice but to endure the rain. However, attitude and mantras can have a lot to do with the way you emerge from Winter. Will you stumble into Spring beat-down with ripped clothes, crawling into the sun or will you be one of the lucky ones who perches her kitten heels into the sun lane, presses "Go" and dallies into warmer weather (112% of me is positive that that statement makes no f*cking sense)?

The warmer weather was here... and then it hastily left and yesterday was a soppy mess with downpours and amazing thunder. Well you know what? My Mama said they'll be days like this, they'll be days like this Mama said (Mama said, Mama said)... so thank goodness she instilled this mantra in me from the time I was very young: 

 All rainy days deserve
a bright umbrella.

{The Children's size umbrella is the perfect size}
