Cue the Rainbow, Then Remember the Holiday

Hopefully many of you were able to see the birth, full bloom, and fade away this morning of our rainbows at sunrise. I will admit it was just luck that I enjoyed the process, but oh was it worth it. First there was just a bit of a rainbow to the north, then a full double rainbow looking west, followed by a vivid glimpse of the rainbow’s end to the south. Rain then filled the sky and the rainbows were gone.

Later in the morning I received a text message asking me to go fishing. Of course I could not turn down such a request. We caught very few and those we caught were miniscule, but we still had fun going out for lunch and sharing company along the pond. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of knowledge my fishing partner had regarding Memorial Day, the conflicts, and even patriotic songs. I was happily impressed! Good job!!
