It rains often here. Every evening, the clouds roll in from the south and we have a nice downpour while we cook dinner. Then the clouds break up and the sky is full of stars. Every other day, we see more clouds than sun.

But this is good. Not only does it fill the catchment that provides water for the house, but it offers opportunities to see rainbows (so far I’ve spotted four) and even a moonbow.

I thought moonbows were legend but they are real. A pale shining arc of light comes from nowhere and leads to heaven. There are no colors, just soft white light. Incredibly lovely. Posted by kuri at March 17, 2001 02:19 AM
