Rainbows






If there's moisture in the air here, we're gonna get a rainbow. That's in front of the mountain that you can't see right now.


The rainbow has been around all morning long, just moving north as the sun gets higher in the sky. It always crosses my mind that a rainbow is a gift from God. It's like, "I know it's been rainy and drab. Here, this is for you."

With all of the drizzle and strong, gusty winds today, this little guy has been in and out of that gardenia bush.


And look who I spotted in the boxwood; a bird I've never seen before.
Any port in the storm, right? He likes the Hummingbird feeder too.

I know the last picture is hard to see, but I wanted to show you his backside. I think it's some kind of finch. Anyone know?

Although to the right of our house it is fairly clear with sun, the left of our house is just that much closer to the mountain, and has been drizzly & cloudy all day. Weird. The weather is calling for 80 mph winds tonight. I hope all of my little friends hang on tight!
