Hi there! how are you all doing today? I’m somewhere between dandy and sleepytime! It’s a nice place to be…

This afternoon I was out celebrating at Bucca di Beppo with my family, and as usual it got a bit “noisy” (code for fun around my family). As my one niece climbed up my knees, legs, stomach and then hopped to the ground, my other niece started to chatter about my wardrobe. She noticed my mom’s brilliant blue toenail polish. She complimented my purple sunglasses. She told me she liked my shoes and looked at my melon colored toenails. I then noticed my sisters purple polish and my mom’s blue earrings…

You can see where this is going. As winter turns into spring and then the springtime lurches into summer, the colors explode in Minnesota. Natural beauty abounds. But I also notice the rainbows that aren’t so natural… a feast for our eyes! Here are some of the rainbows I’ve captured, to brighten your day!

And let me know- what colors are brightening your days lately?
