Daily observations of my simple life.

Rain, rainbows and chickens:

What an amazing year. Here in the desert there are lakes, large ponds and water, water, everywhere. I'm looking out my window at a lake like area in my yard and raindrops have begun again. 

Yesterday I needed to get a battery for my truck so I went out and shortly after the trip to town it began to pour. I was to meet a friend at a local restaurant at 3. After getting the battery and some chicken feed, I headed over to my favorite store, a used dealer in many things. I had a patio door with glass panels that needed picking up. I hope to put it in my cottage in the mountains. I found 4 old windows with glass in them $12, an old harness/ yoke, leather for $12. Don't know quit what to call it but they put them over horses to have them pull wagons. Also two old sinks, the big porcaline kind , $5 each. These are good planters and feeders for the animals. 

I met my friend for lunch and she told me I could come and get some of the chicks that are now big, grandchildren of my little silkies. The ones killed by dogs. I now have a very secure chicken house and yard, don't think dogs will get in. The feed store told me they have a silky rooster so along with my barred rocks I will have four more. I'm excited.

When I went into the restaurant I parked on the street. Well, I had to walk through a river to get to the sidewalk. So much water.

Back home and animals fed I settle in to read the computer. Light outside looked intriquing and what do I find. A huge lovely rainbow. Perfect end to a good day.
