Being that I live in the Pacific Northwest it seems my
neighbors and I are always looking for ways to make the rainy days more
enjoyable. We’ve got great bookstores,
music venues and pretty cool museums. We
live with moisture falling from the sky more often than not and that's all
there is to it.
To look on the bright
side, one of the many positives is that you can find the prettiest umbrellas
and rain boots in just about every store.
I love the umbrellas that look like giant flowers. So pretty!
And kids (young and old) can find rain boots that look like
ladybugs, frogs, tigers, etc. Hey, we
need to do what we can to perk things up when the skies are grey and the rain
feels like it just won't stop.
There's one house accessory I've been seeing that is so
cool. Instead of a typical enclosed
gutter downspout, there are new designs called gutter rain chains. Some designs look like copper flowers that
have been stacked and held together with copper chains. The rain drips down
through the flowers, down the chain and into your down spout or rain barrel.
It's just a perfect design to add a touch of something different for those of
us that need to add more fun to our rainy days.
