Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Panoramic View of Rainbow from my Roof! (Hover your mouse over to enlarge)

Judy Garland is singing out there somewhere….I’m thinking that Clermont Ferrand is the land of rainbows! I never used to see one very often, but it rains a LOT here and whatever the difference is in the atmosphere, there are rainbows all the time! C’est magnifique! 

The pics below were taken from a moving car and are terrible pictures, but the point is that they were both taken within a few days of each other.  Just incredible!

Did you know that rainbows are God’s promise to never again destroy the Earth by flood?  Genesis 9:8-13 says, I am going to make a solemn promise to you [Noah] and to everyone who will live after you….11 I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood. 12-13 The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth… 

Christmas Countdown!  Brendan may get here on WEDNESDAY – YIPPEE!  Robert and Leslie will follow on Friday…and even though I’m stressing a wee bit about celebrating in such different surroundings with non-traditional food and activities – the new normal – we are so delighted they are coming!  It will be a whirlwind trip!

I’m thinking about you and keeping you close in my heart – family, friends, loved ones…if you are reading this, know you play or have played a special part in our lives.

Off to the tram now!  Grocery shopping to do with my trolley!  🙂  When in Rome….

[HAPPY BIG BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK, MIKE SLICE!]
