Whether or not, I will actually be able to sit under it in the near future is something else entirely, but my big red umbrella has been awakened from its hibernation in the garden shed and is now in its appointed place on the deck.
My "end-of-the-season" purchase a few summers ago was a fine idea. The colour of the thing cheers me up immensely, and its ribs have solar lights for after dark. I like looking up at them after dark on warm nights when I am sitting outside.
I can see myself under the big red bumbershoot on a balmy afternoon with Beau, a mug of tea close by and a good book in hand. Better yet, a whole heap of books. When the weather warms up, there will be glasses of iced Perrier with slices of lemon and dear little paper umbrellas. Makes me smile just thinking about it.

I know that Spring is really here when the umbrellas are back on duty...wishing you and Beau many enjoyable sits.
There's so much wind in our yard that no umbrella in existence could ever withstand it. Alas, poor me! LOL. I'd love to be where you are and am envious. -Kate
