A Rainbow

The clouds rolled in late yesterday and with it a few drops fell but did not land but there was the rainbow

and it was lovely to see. The sky was hauntingly grey. the thought of rain was there but the few drops were really only virga rain. Today is overcast and cool with an easy breeze. The music from the garden is loud and clear as well as the sounds from the front yard chimes.

The fronds glisten on the palms as they bend and whip in the winds. We have 9 ....50+ foot palms in our courtyard and they sway and bend when the winds are blowing. It is amazing to see. As I sit here and look out to the garden the breeze is becoming wind and the buoy bell is sending out it's warning to any passing ship to beware; .... actually that would be a warning to the Dove couple to be careful out there. They are just getting ready for the shift change. The crow has already been here so it is safe for them to be showing where the nest is.
Having rested the hand for a few days I am ready to take needle or shuttle in hand today! I get restless when I can not be creative. The laundry is swishing and the Bissell and Swiffer  is at the ready. Still waiting for the House Faeries to show up.... they have about an hour to do so before I have to do it myself. So nice to chat with you today. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.

Love the stormy sky

Last evening the sky looked ready to

finally give some rain...well, about ten drops fell and that was it...but the clouds were beautiful. Then, looking to the space across...

pale blue with a rainbow. Earlier yesterday morning at 3 AM I was awaken but claps of thunder and a brief shower...probably 1 minute of soft falling rain...and this is suppose to be our monsoon season. Maybe it is East and South of the Valley, but not at my house. So far this morning is overcast and they say no rain coming our way. In the meantime I am keeping busy with my needle punch project....love the new hoop system and also Nikyscreations, Sewing Basket...

I am enjoying this project. My only issue is that the measurements given are not too clear to me. So I will wait until all the stitching is complete and figure out the templates then. I asked at the quilt shop about the numbers given and they were clueless. Not going to give it any more thought at this time.  I started to let my hair grow a bit then as usual I decided to get it cut. I have kept it short for so long that it seems impossible to have it any other way. With this heat it is more comfortable to have it off my neck. The second laundry is in the washer, and I am hungry so I think a piece of seven grain bread and a cup of coffee is in order. thank you for visiting with me and most of all for your friendship and kind words. Enjoy your day.
