While driving to take my sister home this afternoon, we were positively shocked to see this incredible rainbow.
We stopped the car in several places to get a few more pictures because it was so bright and vivid.
I dropped Laurie off and went right to Lyndi’s house–and it was still there!
She came outside to see it too.
She said, “I guess Jesus isn’t coming back this year. ”
But I reminded her that there are only 2-1/2 months left in this year.
So there’s always hope.
Always.
We’ve had quite a bit of rain around here in the last week or so.
Of course, it’s never exactly enough…
for me.
That is, unless it’s flooding up onto the sidewalk.
Even then, the look of it pouring down…
the sound of it pounding on my metal roof…
and most of all the smell of it–
that makes me want to stand on the porch until I’m soaked–
it just makes me soooooo happy.
I kinda think it makes my yard happy too.
Heh, heh.
Waking up to my sweet Lyla watching all the raindrops falling on the ground outside–like she was seeing them for the first time.
She’s so freaking cute.
Such a breathtaking evening scene from Jillian.
What a beautiful world we live in.
For the tinyest space–we could almost see Spring in the distance.
I mean, 68 degrees is inching it’s way up the thermometer and we are being optimistic….incredibly optimistic.
But then again…this is Utah.
Sunny…Cloudy…Snow…Cloudy…
FREEZE WARNING?!! Ohhhh noooo.
Psycho weather…
Utah.
Home sweet home.
I still love it here anyway.
Sad KSL News: An intense mid-April 2026 freeze in Utah has caused devastating, near-total fruit losses for many northern Utah farmers, with some orchards losing their entire year’s crop of peaches, cherries, apples, and apricots due to temperatures dropping into the low 20s°F. An unusually warm early spring caused early blossoming, leaving crops highly vulnerable to the subsequent cold snap.
