short, sweet and very much to the point

i have always been one to believe in "signs"  and it sort of doesn't matter much to me where those signs come from...

it's been a rough couple of months around here with a lot of decisions to be made, lots of soul searching, lots of questions - to the point that i generally end up answering myself - and i have these very long and drawn out conversations with myself and a very dear friend who always listens even if she isn't physically sitting in the passenger's seat  -  i have these conversations on the way into the shop and on the way home from the shop...and sometimes (if i don't think the girls are listening) - i have the conversations while i'm working in the back room here...

so...back to signs.  yesterday was sort of a watershed day - and lots of decisions were made  (all for the good).  i pulled out onto oakdale avenue this morning coming in.  streets were dry, it had not rained - even though we are expecting it today maybe - and there was the most BRILLIANT rainbow over the field to the west.  by the time i had gotten to briggsmore - there was a second rainbow right next to the first rainbow...a little bit less BRILLIANT but another  rainbow - no doubt.

i knew i had received a sign...and said my thanks and dedicated the first rainbow to a good friend who is having a third angioplasty in six months today and also to a good friend in new york who is waiting for some results...  and i kept the 2nd rainbow for us...and said my most appreciative thanks for those two rainbows...

by then...i was at the lake - and you guessed it - the goosers are back!!!  silly birds...they are with us thru the spring i'm sure...good grits in that lake...why leave???  and good scratchings for bugs and grubs in the field...

am out of here - more on rainbows a little bit later this week...
