A good omen

Me and Lily with lovely rainbow
Ten ladies set out from the Farmers' Market area to walk to Fairhaven and back. The forecast was for some light rain showers in the morning, changing to a steady rain in the afternoon. I grabbed my rainhat and a light jacket when we left to begin the walk. It wasn't raining at all, but before too long it did live up to the hype: just a little occasional rain.

When we were on the boulevard over Bellingham Bay, the sun came out. We looked around to see if there might be a rainbow anywhere, and lo and behold, passersby had cellphones out so we turned around to see this lovely rainbow.

We asked one of them to take our picture, since it sure seems to be a good omen to me. Lily, who is from Guatemala and knows English as a second language, had never heard of omens before. After explaining, she agreed that this was indeed a good sign, perhaps of many more splendid things to come.

  3. I guess if you're going to have a little rain, you might as well have a rainbow.

  4. A good sign indeed on this day of equinox. It speaks of balance - some rain, some shine. You have to have both to make a rainbow.

  12. Welcome to your friend from Guatemala. My roommate at college was from Guatemala. We have lost track of each other! Wish I could have visited her country. Friends are so wonderful!
