Rainbow Morning

Yesterday....
Loading my truck for errands
going to town to pick up some fence post.
Surveyor returning so I can clearly mark
one property line.
This was surveyed when I sold the old farm house
For years it did not matter about this line.
Now that I have returned home and
 time is flying by so quickly it now seems
important to me to know exactly
where the line is.
Also some draining of water that I
do not like and gravel will be delivered soon.
In Spring will seed heavily and surely
this will help.  May need another culvert.
Another thought it may be a perfect
place for a small  pond - but do I want a
pond in that area.
There is one by the old farm house and one more created
by another home built on this property.  They are
picturesque - so many projects that I did not plan to do.
Will wait until my son returns and see
what he thinks of this idea.

As I was loading truck
I looked at the sky
What joy the view of a rainbow
gives me.

I felt it was a gift from God
that all is well.....

What a beautiful rainbow and I see a hint of a second one also.

There is always something to do when you own your own property. You will feel better knowing exactly where your property line is.

Enjoy this time of year.

I see that second one--a double rainbow my mother used to say, was a double blessing from God--His sign that all was well.

I see the double bow, too. The turning leaves look splendid silhouetted against the sky.

Excellent capture of the scene with your camera. A perfect autumn vista.

You have done what I have not been able to do ~ capture a rainbow to enjoy many times over. What a beautiful sight....

I love your poem that talks so much of practical things until the rainbow shines and takes your breath away with its wonder.
