A reminder of God’s promise

Rainbows excite me.  As a kid it was such a treat to see them and as an adult it still is.  We were eating supper, when my friend Joyce, texted me and said she thought the rainbow ended at our house.  She lives 15 miles away from us.  I was oblivious and hadn’t even looked outside.  So, I grabbed the camera and ran.  It wasn’t very bright but it was still beautiful!

This is looking across our backyard and field to the farm I grew up on until 7 years old.  Still love this view.  I wish my parents were alive. They would appreciate that we could see it from where we live now.

Thanks for the text Joyce!

  2. that is neat. I spent the evening in the basement with my wind up radio/flashlight trying to swat mosquitos in the dark. But all is well and we ha d no damage that I could see in the dark.

  5. Seriously, I was sure the end was at your house, not past it! :)

    I love them and can't believe *I* didn't grab the camera and take some photos. Are they becoming too commonplace to me? Or was I just too whipped? I'll chose the latter....

  6. The rainbow is beautiful, but the pictures are even prettier because of the green open fields. Making me homesick! :) I grew up in central IL, btw.
