January thaw, grey thaw, wet thaw, snowy thaw, drippy thaw, drip,drip,drip.
No rosy sunset tonight. light, then darkness.
Weather!
First I saw the western sky turn yellow and gray. It had been gray and raining and raining and raining. Water pouring downhill, everything and everybody sopped , thunder and lightning. The rain had stopped by 7:00. By 7:30, the sun had broken through. I thought "hmmmm....rainbow?". The sunlight in the Northwest burned against the dark sky, and I turned to look east. Rainbow. I clapped my hands, my neighbors clapped their hands. I saw it next through the window of the market down the street. The cashier told me it was a double rainbow. I followed it home. Neighbors on their sidewalk, people in the market parking lot, everyone had their heads up, and everybody was happy.
