Well, it has rained and rained for about a week here in Indiana....rain make me want to crawl in a hole and sleep for a year.
Here are some facts about rain:

9. Rain that freezes before it hits the ground is known as frozen rain.
10. Rain is recycled water that evaporated from our worlds lakes, rivers, oceans, seas etc.
One thing I do love about rain: umbrella's. I love them.
They come in all sorts of colors, patterns and sizes.
I own seven different umbrellas, which I use at different times, depending on my mood. I know....its strange.
Maybe its the idea of having something over my head to protect me from the elements. Or maybe its the idea of protection in general....or both.
Umbrellas. I just love them. From the classic black to the cute little froggie umbrellas. They facinate me to no end.
