It doesn't take much
It doesn't take much I was having a crappy day today. I got home this morning, and found the dogs had busted the barrier into the garage. (They ate a hole in the last door, and I've taken it down to rebuild. I installed a temporary door to keep them out.) They had eaten, scattered, or destroyed most of my tools and supplies for turning pens, so I wasn't too happy. I found everything I could, put it all in a safe location, then went to bed. I woke up this afternoon to find out that the power went out, and my clock was slow. After my shower, I went into the kitchen to make dinner, only to find out that the kitchen sink was clogged up. Then the garage flooded. Worms invaded the peppers in my garden, but left the weeds intact (How do bugs know what is a weed and what is a plant?)
Like I said, a crappy day.
But, there was a brief break in the clouds, and I saw a rainbow this afternoon. A double in fact, with both arcs complete. The secondary wasn't nearly as bright as the primary, but it was still impressive. I stood outside in the sprinkling rain, and just looked at them for 5 minutes. The garage is still flooded, the sink still clogged, the garage door still broken, and I'm missing a couple of tools, but any day you see a double rainbow can't be all bad.
