The past weekend was full of rain and stormy weather. The weekend of the tornadoes that devastated Minneapolis, MN and Joplin, MO. Our family spent time in the basement hiding from the severe weather or closely watching the radar to make an escape to the basement. But in the evening of Sunday, the skies cleared allowing an opportunity to go for a walk and visit with my walking partner. We had a lot to catch up on from the weekend!
We made our way down the familiar road, dodging a few left over raindrops and avoiding mud puddles. As we walked we caught up on the activities of the weekend. Exercising our bodies, improving our physical health simultaneously improving our mental health. I am so thankful for my dear friend - M, her listening ear, observant eyes, wise thoughts, and witty sense of humor.
We turned the corner on our familiar loop. Mid-step I stopped, gasped, and pointed at the most incredible rainbow. We both stood in awe at the incredible, vivid rainbow that looked as it ended in the field just mere feet away. We then spotted the second rainbow. Knowing I usually carry my phone that is so fancy as to have a camera, M suggested I take a picture.
Peer closely at the end of the rainbow, it appears to end just there in the field behind the shed. We did not spot a leprechaun nor a pot of gold, not even a pot of Skittles. :)
M then thought we should have a picture of the two of us with the rainbow in the background. It turned into a laughing, silly activity as we both battled the phone camera to capture our desired photo. Below see our results....
We made several more attempts to capture this desired photo, amidst much laughter... here is our next best result:
Clearly, we are technology challenged! But we have healthy hearts and saner minds... I think.
And we forgot the dog in the picture. Ha!
