This post has come about thanks to the several gray days of rain we have had lately. I personally love rain. With the right rain gear I have spent DAYS in the rain before, camping, hiking, fly fishing, backpacking. I have learned that I won't melt (although my camera equipment needed to stay dry). I like gray days. If there were never any gray days I would not get much done. I like feeling I can stay inside and work on projects. And many kids love rain, too, but they especially like being out in it. My daughter doesn't want to stay in when it rains. She wants to bike, play, dance, and splash in the rain. Her purple rain boots with flowers are her favorite shoes. She loves her pink and red polka dot rain coat and carries her dinosaur umbrella where ever I will let her. She is drawn to puddles like a fish to water. She is all smiles which makes me want to stop my projects to party with her in the rain. Give it a try the next time the rain is making you feel sluggish and cranky. Take your child by the hand, suit up, and head out for some fun in the rain...

When I was in college, I loved rainy days best! I loved walking under my umbrella.
Thanks for sharing that, Debbie, it makes me smile. I love umbrellas and I have always wanted the clear kind, that is alike a big bubble over your head. I rarely use an umbrella, although now that I have not one but two cool vintage ones, I try not to leave home in the rain without one...
