A Welcome Reprieve

As I've been writing out Christmas cards today, the weather has been mostly cloudy with an occasional rain shower.  Since my hand was getting writer's cramp I was looking for any excuse to take a break from this task, but I had promised myself I would have them all done today.  So, I continued writing.  Writing and writing until I looked up and noticed it was raining pretty hard and the sun was out.  Like any good blogger, I grabbed the camera and ran to the window.  And what to my wondering eyes should appear??


A rainbow ... in December.
It was stretching across the sky...

Peeking through the trees ...


And descending  upon the housetops.

Such an unexpected sight at this time of year and such a wonderful excuse to take a break from writing out the Christmas cards :).

Just a reminder:  If you haven't signed up for my giveaway and would like to you have until tomorrow at midnight.  Click here to sign up.

I'm off to finish up those cards now.

Happy Sunday to you.

  2. Oh what a sweet moment for you to share with us! My mother has worked on Christmas cards all day. I didn't join her. Guess that means that I won't be sending them out in 2010.

  11. How wonderful. A beautiful sight. I tried to catch one all summer to take a picture of and never spotted one rainbow. Maybe this Summer.

  12. Dear Kim...Such a beautiful rainbow! We had a dusting of snow to enjoy yesterday as I was writing and addressing our Christmas Cards! We put them in the mail today...so my "to do" list is becoming a bit shorter! Thank you for all of the kind comments you share on my "little space"...always love hearing from you! Blessings ♥ Teri
