Mother Nature bestowed an unusual sight upon us this evening.  The sun was setting and I happened to look out my kitchen window.  In the eastern sky there was a magnificent rainbow.  There was no rain, the sky was clear.

     I called DH to the window to see it.  I phoned G and told her to go outside there was something in the east she had to see.  She went out with phone in hand and I giggled to hear her gasp in wonder at the sight.  The colors were vibrant in the early evening sky. 

     As the sun sank lower and the rainbow disappeared, dear old Mom wasn’t finished.  She grabbed her paintbrushes and the brightest pinks, oranges, and reds she could find and painted us a breathtaking sunset.

     Every so often, when there are more bad days than good, Mother Nature manages to make us smile.  DH and I most certainly needed to smile today and we did.
