A Double

Double rainbow

I've posted before about the frequent rainbows we get out here, but this is something else we see quite a bit:  double rainbows.  I got this shot the other evening when I was over at Widget's House putting the dogs up.  Beautiful, isn't it?

We've had a few days of cool, wet weather — we desperately needed the moisture — but the temperature is climbing again and we're forecast to be 94° (34° C) on Saturday.  Not what we need at all.  So this photo is a nice reminder of the weather we just had … and wishing it will return soon!

Twitter_logo_header I held out as long as I could, but … we're now on Twitter.  I started "tweeting" on Sunday to get a feel for it.  I have no idea what I'm going to tweet about every day, so read at your own peril!  You can find our Twitter page here.

    That is beautiful. Every time I see a rainbow I think of a story my friend Greg told me.
    Greg was with me through my late husband’s illness and at the time of his death. He had a hard time dealing with it and while driving one day he prayed, “Jay, just let me know you are okay.”
    As he crested a rise, there was a full rainbow, stretching from horizon to horizon. He continued on and kept seeing little fragments of rainbows everywhere he looked. Finally, laughing, he said, “Okay, okay, I get it! You’re okay!” The rainbows faded.
    As he told me this I was smiling and nodding.
    “Did you know that Jay won an award when he worked in community theater,” I asked Greg. He shook his head and I pointed to the little Oscar-looking statue on the mantle, and explained.
    “He won that for Best Lighting.”
    So, I believe in the light that comes from love. With all the love at the RDR, no wonder you have beautiful rainbows!

    As for twittering or tweeting, you could check out The Daily Coyote at http://www.dailycoyote.net/. She doesn’t tweet every day, but you can get some ideas.
    (As you can see, I don’t ’cause I don’t think I conjugated that verb correctly.)

    Do you really have time to Twitter–well maybe if you had an I-Phone! 🙂
    I’ll stick to the daily Blog.

    Thank you, Steve, for sharing this magic with us.

    Love the rainbows!
    Have fun on Twitter; I don’t do it myself. How about doing a Facebook Page? That would get the RDR word out in a big way.

    This just goes to reconfirm what all your most fortunate “pack” already knows… that RDR is the “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow. Simply beautiful! Enjoy.

    Lynne that is a beautiful story!
    I believe rainbows are a sign of love too. That’s why when our special furry ones leave us they all go to Rainbow Bridge. And, RDR is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbows in MT.
    I found you on Twitter. I’m excited you are doing this. It’s fun to see the daily activities. You all are going a great job. Just Tweet anything you like. I have been on it for a while & really enjoy it.
