I made it to Mass yesterday, and not much coughing, either. Armed with a few Ricola lozenges, I made it through, by the grace of God.
They sang "In the Day of the Lord", which I don't think I know. This is a very nice version.
Today was one of those mostly overcast, but not entirely, November days: it rained a little late morning, the sun tried to shine, but couldn't very well. But then, before sunset, it cleared and the drama began. Meanwhile, I wasn't paying much attention, being busy in the kitchen with the supper preps. Sunset right now is at four twenty-five and it was after four. My brother came in and said a woman was walking by and told him there was a rainbow - it was quite bright, and the whole thing was there! I grabbed a camera and ran out into the squishy yard.
It wasn't this dark out, but I was trying to get the colors recorded. It was bright, just take my word for it. Anyway, I took a little video, but it's a bumpy ride because the ground is uneven in places and I wasn't watching my feet.
It was in a different place than usual; they're normally more to the right of this area, and the tall trees hide one end of it, but this one was right in the middle! And it hadn't been raining! I really don't understand this. Maybe it rained where the bow was located? I always run outside or to a window after a rain when part of the sky is dark and part is bright - that's when to look for one. This was different.
But then there was more drama, and things got that coppery gold color; I always try to capture this. It's a struggle.
I did the best I could. A big thanks to that lady from the next street who alerted us!
Then I came back in to find I'd left a plastic container on top of a skillet, on LOW HEAT! Totally forgot. But all was well, no melted plastic, thanks be to God.
