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!

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
Hi there!
Here is a double rainbow we saw today after a thunderstorm this afternoon staying with friends in St George, Balonne Shire, southern Queensland.
Stunningly beautiful! All green and wet and full of blessing!
Thank you, Kate!
I just love receiving gifts of rainbows from everyone. They are a walk-together-in the rain.

My thoughts and feelings were like a wind storm full of snow. Then —–
I opened my email to this!
Linda,
So there on her soft rainy day, a gift to me, and to you, appeared.
Thank you so much, Marianne
I always love a Rainbow! 🙂

The cows arrived! The joy of cattle feet back on the land!
The storm clouds rolled in over-night, moving along by a wind unseen
Over in the South West part of our farm, a very faint Sundog started to appear.
Growing brighter and brighter in the cool cloudy sky.
In three days’ time, our temperature will drop too much cooler norms.
The thick clouds started filling in again…leaving not a single space of blue.
But the exciting thing of wonder (I almost missed it) came with a phone call from Cliff and Kimberly—
“Quick! Look to the West…there is a Care Bear Rainbow (as our daughter, Kimberly called the rainbow) dancing in the sky”.
Sure enough…There is was. Perfectly Perfect as a sign of Hope.

A beautiful rainbow!

I opened my email to THIS 🙂 🙂 🙂
“My wife caught this rainbow in the Western sky around 7:00 Am. Very seldom see them in the Western sky. All things just lined up I guess. Been a wet summer here in the midwest high humidity even for us. Glad to see you back to full time farming this year. “Midwestern follower”
WOW!
What a wonderful gift to receive! 🙂
Thank you, Pull299

If I could choose one single moment to live inside for all eternity, it would be that. Fredrik Backman, Things My Son Needs to Know about the World
Monday we had storms, off and on all-day
Off and on the rain would blow in, falling in heavy coin-sized drops, then moving on; the ground staying mostly dry.
Our busy days of work continued
Completing one chore
After another
Then the skies would clear and I would think…”I guess that is the end of the storms.”
Back again they would blow in.
But the ending…OH MY, THE ENDING of the DAY!
Was STUNNING!
Complete with the most unusual and delightful Rainbow!
Which grew darker and more red as the night crept onto the land!
WOW! I kept saying to myself. WOW! This is an amazing gift from the Heavens!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
When the world has these, who requires much more?
Good morning, Linda. It’s been a while since I’ve said hello. So Hello!
(That was from this past Monday.)
I hope this brightens your day.
Take care.
What a perfect way to start anyone’s day!
Thank you ever so much!
