We just happened upon the rodeo carnival while we were looking for another letterbox so we decided to take a break from our search and ride some rides.
We decided to leave when the sky threatened to drench us. The rain never came but look at this awsome picture across the street!

This took me right back to my childhood in the Texas Panhandle and SW Kansas!! For a few years my family and I literally lived in the very last house on the outskirts of town. The street dead-ended on a dirt trail right past our driveway. Our neighbors were the cemetary, fairgrounds, cotton fields, a horse pasture, the wind and my favorite...the sky. Leaden or with a million glorious stars, icy blue or with blazing sun, spring showers or with angry bruised purplish-black roiling clouds bringing torrential rain, crazy wind, thunder and lightening (and sometimes tornadoes!) the sky has always been wondrous and magical and fearsome to me...full of emotion. Once we had a rain storm pop up while we were having a sand-storm...it was raining mud! Mother Nature at her finest...and most horrific played out against her backdrop...the sky!
Wishing fair skies and lovely weather for the remainder of your trip to visit Grandma Sam and Grandpa Howard. Love to all, Aunt Karen
And then there are the rainbows... After a storm I saw an exquisite full end to end double rainbow form over the cotton field as I stood in the side yard of that "last house on the edge of town"! I was just a bit older than Maggie, maybe 12 at the time...imagine my delight!! Enjoy the moments, Aunt Karen
