I hate rainy days. It’s hard to crawl out of bed knowing you’re going to have a bad hair day no matter what you do and are doomed to spend a portion of your day in soggy clothes.

When the rain hits though, I find nothing cheers me up more than knowing I get to drag my galoshes out of the closet. The bright pattern adds a splash of color to the gray day and knowing that I can splash through several inches of water without getting my feet wet somehow makes me feel powerful (and slightly like I’m a kid again).

For some cool rain boots at a decent price check out Famous Footwear at 266 Daniel Webster Highway in Nashua. Here’s my favorite pair.

And once you have a pair, you just may find yourself looking forward to the next rainy day.
