Skywatch Friday - A Painted Sky

After three evenings of thunderstorms filled with fierce lightning and heavy rain we were rewarded Monday afternoon with a beautifully painted sky. And didn't this rainbow just position itself in the right spot for me - I think so!! Enjoy!


For more Skywatch participants please join our host Tom at Welcome to Wiggers World.

Only Carletta stood out there steady betting she would stay like a rock to get a stunner instead of running ... :)

I am now taking a diminishing dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I believe the chemotherapy drug is spelled "Methotrexate" that is used to treat a lot of things from cancer to arthritis will be used next. I just relish in being pain free.

So I am not participating in Sky Watch Friday just because I might not be able to make it around to all.


I enjoyed seeing your blog post for Sky Watch Friday and I thought your photography was excellent. I really liked the rainbow.

I don't know if you like to read or not but if you do this place is amazing.

I just got my first shipment of used books from Strand's bookstore in New York City, day before yesterday and they are in excellent condition.

They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that—18 miles. I had to start out by just choosing a category, like photography, and go from there.

I don't know how in the world they can keep track of so many books.

Look up Strand bookstore or copy and paste the URL here: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/home/
