What a wonderful, beautiful world (we have) the internet connecting us to friends far and wide.
Sending you this gorgeous rainbow that came to our house after a thunderstorm yesterday.
Enjoy!
Lots of love,
Genevieve and Cupcake

One day we had RAIN! And ever after we have been having rain clouds with rain all around us. (YAY)!
And THEN
We had a fabulous, marvelous, glorious RAINBOW!
Oh! the Joy!
From my world to your heart,

I got a message on messenger with this lovely, lovely rainbow.
“Here is a rainbow from near Seneca Lake, Wayne Township, Noble County, Ohio. It is a double rainbow. You can barely see the one to the left. We had 1 1/2 inches of rain in about one hour. Makes around 5″ in the last week”
(And, if you look close there is the start of a third rainbow! WOW! Something I have only heard about; never seen!!)
What a lovely and beautiful gift…Thank you ever so much,
Linda
Hi Linda.
I was listening to the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game this evening when I noticed the sun was sneaking out to the West. There were still the dark rain clouds to the South. I figured I better go take a look to the East.
BINGO!
WOW! A double rainbow!
Thank you ever so much from me and everyone who reads my blog!

It is ever so much fun to open my email and find a wee gift:
“Hello!
Although, we received no rain
The sun and the moisture in the air gave us
That glorious omen of
Hope!
The omen that told Noah…all will be okay!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Those flesh and blood creatures
Who share the farm with us.
The daily hum, of not just our movement on the farm
But the songs,
The physical movement
Even the air
The light.
All hooked together; like a large crochet bedspread.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Our oldest daughter (and oldest child) was driving home from Grand Junction when the sun created an amazing arch.
That most ancient sign of hope
There was a perfect double rainbow, glittering among the cool raindrops, on the desert between Delta and Grand Junction.
A most welcoming, joyful sight!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
We were driving into town this evening to pick up the motorbike which had been repaired, and there was a really huge bow, probably several miles wide. You couldn’t see the top, it was in the clouds, but I’m sending you the left and right sides of it.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!
From my world to your heart,
One of the gated pipes had a huge crack in it’s side—therefore, we had to go through our extra sticks of pipe and haul one over for the repair
Once there the pipe had to be pulled apart
The broken one removed.
(Mindy is helping. She had to check out the pipe to make sure we got the broken one.)
She approved.
Then we had to put the new pipe in place of the damaged pipe. And hook up all the pipes together again.
Took lots of time–pulling and tugging, then rolling the gates up into position.
You would think gated pipe would make irrigation easier, but the reality is they are lots of work.
So. There you go…the time-consuming repairs on top of all the ‘regular stuff.
And the gift of the day—A RAINBOW!
Oh, the joy!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
