A Quiet Storm, Short and Sweet

It was Monday today. Work went fine, that was short and sweet. Then over to the DJ Jacobetti Vets Home to fill out paperwork. Got home and for some reason, on the way home, I just got in a funk. I was kind of glad no one was home, I was just in a mood. In a funk. A painful funk - hips, knees and back all screaming at me (guessing the weather?)...and just an emotional funk along with it. Not sure why. It was a funk that brought emotions to the brim and almost tears to go with it. You know those days. Sad songs, everything upsets you. Anyhow, I own a journal that I actually write in. With a pen. Not on the computer. So I wrote. It doesn't fix things but it lets me get it off my chest. And on paper. And then I don't think about it so much because it is there in my book and not so much in my head. So I washed the dishes. Then just needed to get out of the house. So I drove to the nearest gas station, bought a couple of things....and decided I needed to go for a drive. And where did I end up. At Lake Superior of course. I stopped by Presque Isle Park. There were way too many people there for me to be chirpy and social today so I drove on. To Black Rocks. Planned on sitting out there for a while but it started raining. And not just raining, pouring. Buckets. There were kids running around in shorts and enjoying the warm summer rain, because it really wasn't cold. And the sun was shining. Really bright. It was kind of weird and kind of beautiful. A crazy kind of beautiful. So I sat in my car. Then it stopped raining so I opened my door to get out and mother nature had other plans and she let loose again and rain just came pouring down. Ok, I got the hint. I closed my door and drove on. Right around the corner from Black Rocks is a beautiful little spot called Sunset Point. I pulled over. As the sun was going down just a bit, it was shining crazy bright over the water, and it was still raining. It was really something to see. So I drove on, wanting to pull over at every little spot in the road there was to pull over and watch this but I drove on. Coming out of the park there was a big beautiful rainbow. Click, took a picture. By the way, I have to apologize, this blog still will not let me post pictures in my posts. Not sure why. And I don't have the patience these days to find out. So back up to the park. And there were a dozen cars there and people snapping pictures left and right. I got out and became a tourist again and when I got to the edge of the water, I saw why.....the rainbow stretched lazily over the lake. It ended right in front of us. If you looked back to the West, where it started, all you could see was white in the distance on the top of the lake. The storm front on the water. I wish it would have been closer. I am not sure how many pictures I took, the sky, the clouds, several of the rainbow and then some of the double rainbow. Headed home, and within an hour there was another rainbow at home but the sky, off to the West, the sun was still bright and the sky was SO blue. It was really breathtaking. I know I write about the lake a lot. But I can't help it. It seems like it is never the same every time you go there. So I am sure I will update you again on the same lake, on a different beautiful day. And that is really all for this Monday. It was a Monday, an eh Monday, but it ended up being a very beautiful Monday night. xoxox Loving the sky over the lake.... ~s
