A Rainbow!
We had a brief bit of rain this evening, and Beth
spotted this rainbow. When I saw it, I had to get
a picture of it, especially since it was so large
and vibrant.

I have to say that while I don’t feel overly productive today, a lot of stuff got done. We left home around 9AM and didn’t return until around 5PM. About 150 miles, all told, in three locations, but several birds were killed with one major stone, so that’s a Good Thing.

I won’t really linger about the day since there were so many miscellaneous things that were done, but we managed to stop by a Home Depot to pick up some electrical stuff (and also a new kitchen light — see below) for the upcoming projects. We also managed to get a few items of clothing and do some general stocking up of canned stuff and the like.

The light in the kitchen I’d never liked. Ever since we moved in. So I finally did something about it and got a replacement. I couldn’t wait to put it up, so I did that tonight…and let there be light. It’s significantly brighter than the old florescent fixture that was in its place (this is also a florescent fixture) and just better in general. Lights the kitchen much better and more effectively. So that’s another piddly project that I can knock off the list (although I hadn’t necessarily intended that to get done this week).

We had a random deer come through the yard a few days ago (Monday, I believe). It was very close to the house (within about twenty feet), and I was quite amazed by it. A large doe. While it’s not unusual to see deer, it was unusual to see one that close to the house (given the dogs). Of course, the wolf pack was sleeping soundly and didn’t even know the deer passed through the yard. Go figure. I grabbed the camera, but by the time I was able to get a semi-reasonable shot, the deer was not in a good position. So I’m left with the story.

We had a little more drizzly rain this evening. After which, the rainbow in the picture showed up. Kinda cool, since you don’t see that sort of thing every day.

Anyway, I’m a bit on the tired order myself, so I’m going to call it a night. Until next time…
