I'm sure I was a sight!
After I picked up the children from school yesterday, we made our way to our farm just across the stateline to see the fencing progress that my husband has made on his off days. On the way up, I listened to the weather to see if the rain that had been sitting in Memphis

| The rainy, misty bottom |
At first I was perturbed and disappointed that #1) I couldn't walk around and see what all Philip had accomplished but mainly #2) that I couldnt walk around and take pictures with my ultra wonderful, always with me wherever I go camera and zoom lens. For a while in my mind all was ruined, wasted, a bum trip. But Wait, an aha moment! God gave us the umbrella which, when used correctly, allows one to walk in the rain while NOT GETTING WET! The day, my walk, and my picture taking time was saved!!!!
Picture me if you will; pink tobogan half covering long brown hair, white cotton jacket and jeans, tennis shoes, and the biggest pink/white Breast Cancer Awareness umbrella known to man, carrying my beloved Canon Rebel securely next to my body walking through the woods and the fields while the rain beats a steady rhythm overhead.

| Im sure I was a sight walking in the fields! |
It was pure bliss and I learned several things.
1) I must invest in foul-weather gear for both myself and my Rebel
2)Holding an umbrella while trying to zoom in on something infintessimally small is a feat in and of itself.
3)There is nothing quite like the sound of the rain falling in the woods.
4)Everything looks different in the mist!
5)I enjoyed myself immensely and will make rainy day walks part of my normal routine now!
6)While the umbrella kept myself and my Rebel relatively moisture free, my feet did turn out worse
for the wear so I will also have to invest in some of those ultra silly rain boots for my next jaunt!
