That cloud of mist we had been walking around in yesterday had finally turned into the rain we all knew was inevitable. Needless to say, it was a pretty dreary sight to see.
But I have to say, the Northwestern community sure does bring color to a gray day.
Clearly, today was a day that carrying an umbrella with you was a must. It's always fun to see the different umbrellas people sport. There are the official-looking people from Kellogg who totally pull off the trench coat and black umbrella look. There are the quirky polka dots and patterns you see from students (and the occasional child-at-heart faulty member). Some even carry what can only be called tributes to Monet--his water lilies covering the heads of many art fanatics.
Aside from the umbrellas, there is also no restriction to the spectrum of footwear that is worn during these rainy days. From highlighter green to multicolored dots, the rainboots are an expression of the most vivid of colors.
And I say, why not? Let's add some color to these gray days. Why wait for May flowers...let's bring some color to the April showers as well! So next time you open the blinds to a morning where the world is wet, go ahead and channel that inner Gene Kelly--after all, life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, PARC...it's about learning to dance in the rain.
(Sidenote, the forecast for this weekend is supposed to be A*M*A*Z*I*N*G...hope you enjoy the sun and have a wonderful start to the weekend)
