Over the Rainbow

Uncategorized 1 Minute
This morning started out dark and rainy. We had breakfast and did schoolwork until about 11:30, when the sun came out. Because we never know how long the sun will last here, we put our boots and coats on as quickly as we could and went for our daily walk to the beach. We were there about 20 minutes when it started to rain again, so we headed home for lunch. As we came up the hill and around the bend toward the house, the sun came back out and there was an amazing rainbow! This didn’t last long either, maybe 2 minutes and then the clouds covered it and it was gone, but we enjoyed it while it lasted.
When I first saw the rock in the distance in this picture, I thought it looked like Mercury’s winged shoes from Greek mythology. The kids think it looks more like an Ugg boot!

This one is from yesterday’s walk. Today was too cold and windy to pose for pictures! The rock they are standing on was covered today by the tide because there was a storm coming.

This lovely black dog seems to live at the neighbor’s down the street, but she roams free outside all day. She visits us every morning while we eat breakfast and loves when we feed her. She also loves to walk with us to the beach each day. Wish we knew her name! She is so friendly and loves the kids. She reminds us of Father Dave’s dog Craggly from home.

  2. Ha!!! Too funny! Made me laugh… Kinda does look like an UGG boot now that you said that 😉 lol… Are there any shells for collecting along the shore or is it all rocks? And if so have you found any shells that you don’t normally find at the Jersey shore? Would love to see pics if so 🙂
    Blessings,

  3. Hello Brogans! The rainbow was magnificent, but the dog (definitely looks like a lab!) stole the show! Karma and Team Tombs send big hugs!

    1. She really is a great dog! I feel a little badly for her though because she spends all day outside no matter the weather. THis morning we made her some scrambled eggs when she came for breakfast and then she sat in a sheltered corner of the deck through a hail storm!

  6. Good morning, Brogans!

    Are you very near other houses, or are they quite spread out? Your doggie friend must belong to someone (who obviously believes that dogs are intended to be outdoor critters!). I’m hoping that the “neighbors” give you as warm a welcome as their pup!

    1. There are other houses on the street, but they are spread far apart. The house closest to us does not seem to be occupied currently. Maybe it’s a vacation home. The one on the other side is a dairy farm, thus the cows in our backyard each morning. Many of the places we pass from the main road to the house are also farms and we are as likely to see farm equipment as cars on the road! I think that is why the dog is out so much, it is probably a farm dog. There are many in the neighborhood and I’ve yet to see one on a leash. Everyone waves or says hello when walking or driving by.
