Of Rain and Rainbows

September 9, 2012 •

My hus­band and I were going to whine about the wind and rain that marred the last week­end of our vaca­tion, but then a sun shower arrived late Sun­day after­noon.

The sun shower blos­somed into a dou­ble rain­bow that lasted over an hour, fol­lowed by a glo­ri­ous sun­set — the best sun­set of our stay. After that, how could we com­plain? We had hoped to kayak or sail, but the weather had other plans in store for us…

Rain on the tidal ponds at Cape CodEven the rain on the tidal ponds was beau­ti­ful in its own right. Golden light with rain­drops, fol­lowed by the reflec­tion of sun­set clouds a half hour later. A gor­geous evening.

We count our bless­ings.
