The Weather

The umbrellas were everywhere, of all shapes, colors and sizes. The rain boots squeaked and the splashing made the day very uncomfortable. Everyone grunted and moaned to express their displeasure with the indecent, terrible and depressing weather. Young children cried while tripping and falling into muddy puddles. The world was falling apart until the faithful day that the trees began to droop less; the flowers gained a little color and the birds returned from the south. Everything seemed to be getting better. The people were less depressed over the rain. Even the rain slowed its pace to look at the newly developing enjoyment. It appeared to be a beginning of a new era but unfortunately it was all a tease.
