Awesome Place

Mother Nature gave us a great show today.  The sunrise to the east was red red red as the sun attempted to shine through the early morning cloud cover.  Then we had a lovely sunny morning.  Right after noon, the clouds moved over us and it rained, a nice calm rain.  Then we had another couple of hours of sun.  Then more clouds, this time with "tater wagon" thunder and making us feel like it was evening, the atmosphere was so darkish.  Heavy rain again.  Then, sun, with the most amazing full rainbow that was sooo bright and glowing, along with a second one not so vibrant.  Of course, as the sun was setting, the evening clouds glowed in beautiful pinks, with turquoise pieces of sky patch worked into the mix.  We have been busy looking out as often as we could to see what what new.  The mountains shrouded in clouds, the rain enhanced  brighter than usual yellow leaves, and the darkened branches and shrubs from the rain.  The highlight of the day was an anticipated visit of migrating robins, a group swooping and flitting down onto the red ceder trees to feast on the blue cedar berries, their lovely orangy breast feathers complimenting the blues and greens of the trees.  Wow, we really was reminded of what an awesome place we live in, here on our red dirt hill.

In the morning, before the rain,  dh got the garden area tilled.  I worked on some art dolls, tongue in cheek named "the first ever meeting of the Carolville garden club."  Hopefully, there will be a photo of the lovely ladies in the future.
