It’s been raining on and off for the past week.  And without fail, the days that I forget my umbrella are the ones where it POURS!

On this particular day, I noticed a light drizzle when I got downstairs.  So I ran back inside to grab my favorite umbrella. And wouldn’t you know it stopped raining by the time I got outside, and I saw not a single drop for the rest of the day.  Unfortunately, I got stuck carrying this huge bumbershoot all day. But on the plus side, it matched my accessories, which is always a welcomed bonus in my book.

Random side note: a new flower bush was planted near my apartment building, and it seems to attract tons of butterflies.  And by tons, I mean 3 or 4 at any given time…

Hey, this is the concrete jungle after all.  Wildlife of the non-pigeon and vermin variety can be hard to come by!

    Totally not the main point, but that is a butterfly bush (Buddleias) so butterflies would be attracted and expected…also possibly hummingbirdshttp://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/mvv2-94.htmLove the outfit
