Rainbow Watching

Wednesday evening we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Loertscher's. It was an impromptu visit and we didn't expect to stay long, but it was so enjoyable to sit on the veranda and chat while watching the rain that we stayed until past bedtime.

In addition to the rain, there was one very brave, very hungry little hummingbird that was willing to come to the feeder even with 5 adults and 2 kids sitting under it. He came several times and we got a good look at his pretty coloring, his long tongue, and his tiny little feet.

We also enjoyed a bright double rainbow that appeared to be nearly a full half circle.




Zeke love the nature things too. He was very excited about the rainbow and very interested in the hummingbird. Nora just loved going playing on the veranda and going up and down the back stairs.

The sit-and-chat thing is my very favorite way to spend time with my family, and the addition of rainbows and rain and hummingbirds just made it more so. I could do without the mosquito bites, but I didn't notice them until the next day anyway.
