Riding home from swimming lessons with the kids, yesterday afternoon, was fun. We had all run--or walked quickly--through the rain to get to our van, and were close to being soaked. (it was a long walk!) As we were driving, the sky began to brighten. I urged the kids to search for a rainbow. "Where?" they asked? "Opposite the sun," I told them.
Turning onto our street, I instructed them to look toward our neighbor's house in the back yard. My son hopped out of the van and started searching the sky. "Over there!" he cried. Sure enough, one was beginning to form. All four of us watched as the rainbow became more vibrant right before our very eyes. I don't know about you, but I never tire from witnessing this phenomena, nor of remembering why the Lord put them there!
As my youngest daughter and I headed for the house, I turned around in time to see the raindrops glistening in the sunshine. It looked like a thousand little sparkling diamonds, and thankfully I still had my camera in hand to capture the moment before this disappeared!
Then this morning, Hubby broke the news that we had gotten snow over the wee hours of morning. My oldest daughter came in to say that it was still snowing before she and her brother headed out the door before 7AM. Monday, donned in tee shirts, refusing to wear their winter jackets, they stood waiting at the bus stop in 22F!!! They sure didn't do that this morning!!! --LKR

That rainbow is BEUTIFUL!!!
Thanks! It really was! We are fortunate to see so many of them, here.
We live in a valley and rarely see rainbows. Do you ever see double rainbows? I saw a beautiful one on campus, once, and it took my breath away!
Hi, Carla! I agree--they *are* breath-taking! :-)
Yes, we do on occasion. This one actually was, but when I saw it, it was very faint and hardly showed up in a picture I got of it. Didn't even bother herding the kids over to a window for it, at that point, either.
You are so lucky! I'm gonna have to buy a house on a mountain top so I can see them more often! Or more likely, live in a top floor apartment building!
LOL!!! :-)
Oh! Guess what?! We woke up to it snowing, again, yesterday!!! :-P
Maybe I should come move by you so I can see all the beautiful butterflies that you raise! Then I could also see the rainbows!
Ha ha, I'm bouncing back and forth between your blogs!
You may be in luck! There are several houses for sale both in our neighborhood as well as in town! :-)
I'm glad you found the butterfly one. It does not get that much publicity! Unfortunately, there are many posts I still have to finish from even a long time ago. :-P
