I Found My Pot O' Gold...



This was truly an amazing sight last night in our backyard. I always forget how breath taking rainbows are. This was especially beautiful because it was literally IN our backyard. If you look carefully in the first picture, you will see there were actually two rainbows!! It seemed like we were sitting on top of the pot of gold. Which made me realize that we really do feel that way, everyday, since we moved to Maine. It is very gratifying to have your husband tell you he has never been more happy in his life than since we moved here. I suppose someone else had that same feeling when they came up with the state motto of "Maine, The Way Life Should Be". There are even signs when you drive into Maine letting you know that. I am sure most people drive past it thinking something along the line of "yea, ok...whatever" or "these Mainers sure are full of themselves". But, if you come to Maine and truly experience Maine you will walk away knowing why that motto really stands the test of truth. I mean look at these pictures, besides the amazing rainbow, take a look at those trees!! So beautiful and lush. And the sky, man it looks so blue it actually looks purple! And I get to look out my back windows everyday and look at this!! Anyways, we do truly feel like we are sitting on our pot of gold...and Rick would tell you I spend it, too!
