Under My Umbrella

The old saying goes…”April showers bring May flowers”, well here in Malaysia it’s not only April that has the showers, it’s every month of the year!  So while living in KL, I have become very prepared when the afternoon thunder starts to rumble in the distance…I’ve strategically started placing umbrellas in various different spots to grab on the go – one by the front door, one at work, a couple in the car, a travel size umbrella in my purse…you get the point.  And even when there is not a drop of rain in sight, Malaysians are still carrying umbrellas to shade themselves from the intense heat and sun!  So when spotting all these umbrellas all over town, I just wish one thing…that there were more bright-colored umbrellas!  For when it rains, don’t you want to be reminded of the sunnier days?!  Therefore, when I do see a cheery umbrella on the streets, I smile and often ask, “Where did you get that umbrella?”  Of course, my favorites are my bubble, dome-shaped umbrella styled here and here, AND my animal print here, but I think my next umbrella purchase may be one of these.  Which one is your favorite?  Do you have a cheery umbrella that you carry?

Speaking of umbrellas…while writing this post, I had this song playing in my head OVER and OVER.  So I just had to attach it…now it can get into your head, ha!

Happy Tuesday!  Stay dry!
