Two of my favorite umbrella pictures, one in France, the other in Spain.

Powell’s of Portland declared February 10th as umbrella day and recommended likely books to read to celebrate. Luckily, both were available from my local library: Weather by Jenny Offill, and Ducks Newburyport by Lucy Ellman.

It’s sunny and very windy here – no day for an umbrella – but I’ve checked out the books to read. Have you read them?
