It’s been 40-ish and raining sideways here for a week. Completely miserable. Yes, I can hear my friends in the UK getting indignant from here but the point is: DC in April is normally about 20 degrees F warmer than that and after solid week of rain I’m ready for my happy pill now. Well, I got it yesterday.
A beautiful rainbow just at sunset, full spectrum too (it’s not often we get the purple at this latitude). I could see both ends of it as we drove through Rock Creek Park and I stuck my head out the window like a puppy, getting spattered with rain and wishing I had a camera.
Just a little bit of physics and the week got so much better.
Title taken from The Rainbow Connection by Jim Henson
Did Jim Henson really use an Oxford comma, or was it inserted by his editor?
And, driving to my parents’ last night, there were two rainbows, one behind the other. Except the closer I got to them, the further away they seemed. Those leprechauns must really love their gold.
