• the letter U tried to stump me but it rained here



• a lot the last few days so I remembered my



• UMBRELLA



• we all have them and some folks even collect umbrellas-


• and umbrellas are not a new invention-


• I see a lot of those pretty Victorian ladies


• often with an umbrella to shade their faces


• from the sun


• and in some places; one can use an umbrella


• to keep the rain off their hair


• but


• in Alberta we have storm rains and we do


• not even try to battle the storm using an umbrella


• we have all tried at least once but with Alberta wind


• the umbrella becomes a version of the old flying machines


• and one could easily take off flying and sometimes
• the umbrella turns in side out and then one has to try
• to reason with the umbrella as it becomes a bucket
• - as our rain


• does not come straight down like in the movies ==


• it comes sideways and back and forth and sometimes


• even up- did you that know rain can bounce??


• but I still love umbrellas as they come in such


• nice shapes and colors- all little girls must have at least


• one umbrella every summer and some of us big girls too.


• most ladies who golf has a least one big umbrella that someone


• holds over the other friends waiting for a the putter to putt.


• and sometimes you see a gentleman struggling to


• keep his lady dry while they are both blowing in the wind.


• I use one in the summer to put over the bird cage


• on sunny days so our bird can enjoy outside life in the shade.


• umbrellas remind me of romance too and I have no


• idea-- maybe because of the old song '' Dancing in the Rain'' which


• we Albertans would like to try if our rain did not come


• down in so fast and hard.
• Have a wonder filled week.......and


• May you be covered by an umbrella of joy today-
