Storm clouds gather over the garage...will we have rain? Can you have a rainbow without rain? Isn't that an anomaly?
As many know, we have had precious, precious little rain in northeast Wisconsin lately. I have not blogged at all for the last month as I have been watering constantly trying to keep everything alive (as much as I could). We have had some claps of thunder and some lightning strikes (enough to keep Assistant #1 in a panic mode), and some rain, but not the good 'frog choker' as we call it in the south!
But today, as we waited for yet another 'promised' soaker (that we didn't receive, by the way), we were treated to God's water painting in the skies to the east of us. Hope you will enjoy these photos! While we are still hoping for that big rain to come, observing the events of this early evening reminds us of just WHO is in charge. And for that, I am grateful and full of praise!
Can you see the double rainbow?
Up and over the chicken coop!
I hope that all of you are having a good week, and that those of you who are dry are getting some relief! Summer has surely been an 'even't this year, hasn't it?
Update: Apparently Mom and Dad abandoned the nest. Since it was located right above the water faucet and we were watering constantly (until two days ago), there was just too much activity. Two tiny eggs remain.
In our side yard there is a lovely lilac tree; it's even lovelier now that there is a cardinal nest! We have been entertained with the chirping of the Daddy a during the day and evening. He's keeping a very close eye on his house for sure! Adjacent to that bed is the garage with a weathervane. He perched there yesterday along with a little friend who just happened to be flying by. They were so cute!
We haven't heard any baby chirps yet, but we're listening. Enjoy your day!
