During the month of March, we're celebrating Umbrella Month. An umbrella or parasol is a folding canopy supported by wooden or metal ribs, which is mounted on a wooden, metal or plastic pole. It is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight. Often the difference between an umbrella and a parasol is the material used for the canopy; some parasols are not waterproof. Umbrella canopies may be made of fabric or flexible plastic.
Please also feel free to check out my Pinterest Parasol Follies Board collection and leave a link to your Pinterest Umbrella/Parasol board in the comment section, so that we can share pins! Umbrellas and parasols are not only practical, but they are colorful additions to your decorating ideas.
In celebration of Umbrella Month, I am sharing this short poem, The Umbrageous Umbrella-maker by Edward Lear.
The Umbrageous Umbrella-maker
By Edward Lear
The Umbrageous Umbrella-maker,
whose Face nobody ever saw, because it was
always covered by his Umbrella.
