Word of the Day... Parasol

A

Aunt Marg

Parasol: a light umbrella used to give shade from the sun.

a widely distributed large mushroom with a broad, scaly, grayish-brown cap and a tall, slender stalk, growing typically in grassy places.
 
I had thought that a parasol was solely decorative and ornamental, meant for either a fashion statement ;)
or for an embellishment of dance and song entertainment.

I don't remember if I ever knew or realized or remember,
that it would have actually been intended for some shade from the sunshine! :oops::rolleyes::LOL:

Thanks for that definition reminder, AuntMarg!:cool::giggle:
 
Oh, I just remembered that another perfect use
for a parasol,
is for flying through the air, :):love:

either while softly rising, or while anticipating alighting gently,

to find oneself, again standing with one's feet on the ground!

If one could live their dreams, mine would be to enjoy a little Mary Poppins in me! :)

Gosh! :oops:
I looked again :geek:

at the fanciful picture that was posted above by @Pappy
:)

And I notice, that the ducklings are wearing raincoats and rainhats!
And ducks are always wearing their boots!

No wonder I was confused!
:rolleyes::cool::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::giggle:
 
Sidenote: I can't resist saying, off-topic, but please excuse me...

My other favorite thing and scene of Mary Poppins life,
is when she takes the endless number of items out of her bag,
while it is sitting on top of a table. :LOL:

With the young boy peeking under the table,
to try to figure out, how she does it! :love::ROFLMAO:

If you did have a parasol,
AuntMarg,
could you then do your housecleaning, the way she did hers?
:love: :giggle:

I probably could, and it would even make housekeeping more fun! LOL!

Now look what you've done, Kaila, the next time I'm washing floors or vacuuming, I'm going to remind myself of this thread and then get in a funk all because my umbrella possesses no magic. :)

^^^^ I'll picture you, cleaning with your parasol, too!
:giggle: :ROFLMAO: :love: :love::)
A much better way to clean house!:)

Love that Francais, and the drawing as well!
