Last night as Terry and I were working on the last set of the irrigation last night. The storm clouds were whipping around us, pushed by the wind—the air so cold it felt like January again.
The night was starting to rise around us, bring with it a glaze of cold and a promise of more killing frost.
As we loaded up to head up to check the weed catchers and the head gate at the Upper End I notice a starburst of light shimmering over our farm
The light was stunning, the sunshine breaking through the western clouds shadowing the farm in a gold that seem enchanted even though already blue shadows were forming along the rises and furrows of the irrigation rows.
A rainbow! A beautiful rainbow…I followed it from one field, to the next, to the next, clear to the Head Gate.
A rainbow saying anything is possible. All is safe!
Heading home I felt a deep contentment with the company we call the sky!

I still regret the day I saw the brightest rainbow I’ve ever encountered in my life, and being on the back of the motorbike in the rain, didn’t have my camera handy. My first thought was: “Now there’s a Linda Special”!

It’s exciting for everyone to see a rainbow. They’re a rarity here, but when they happen I’m all smiles if I see it. ” Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.” Maya Angelou

So pretty! Did it freeze? We were worried about a freeze last night. Didn’t happen, thank goodness.

Yesterday morning started out cloudy here. But for just a moment there was a break in the clouds allowing a bit of sun to shine on the snow covered Snowy Mountains. It was breath taking. I love it.

We had lots of clouds when I could have taken the moon shots. My camera doesn’t work in the dark so I need light behind the moon. I guess I didn’t make it clear —but we had clouds and still was cold enough to wear jackets while we irrigated.
