I forgot to post this picture on Christmas Eve.  I’m not sure what the odds are, but each Christmas Eve a plane will fly over our house at exactly the time the kids are getting ready for bed.  This will make the 5th year in a row it has happened.  We always go outside around 9:00 to look for Rudolophs’ nose and every year we see it.  It looks like a tiny, flashing, red light.  The kids scream, run around and scream some more.  This is not the preferred activity if you’re trying to settle them down before bed, but it’s fun to watch.  img_0503

This is one of those neat things you don’t see everyday, a double rainbow.  We were on our way out for ice cream a couple days ago and noticed a two rainbows directly in front of us.  The first, brighter one seemed to radiate light it was pretty awesome.  It’s funny how we are so busy that we rarely take time to notice all the beautiful things around us everyday.   We actually had some free time to try and find the end of the rainbow and that elusive pot-of-gold.   Believe me you there is absolutely no treasure there.

Anyone that knows me knows that if I can get out of work, I will. My buddy, Ryan, has been talking about putting in an ornimental fish pond for years. So when he said that he was ready to do it, I was scared, he never does anything small. It was actually alot of fun and it’s gonna look great. He helped put my pond in about 6 years ago and even for all it’s beauty, that thing drives me crazy! Each fall I swear I’m gonna fill that thing in. It gets leaks, it’s filthy from falling leaves and must always be policed from critters. My friend will figure out soon enough that he has just made a ” future headache”.
