Sun Dog after the storm heralds the birth of my new grandaughter Rachael!
natureHappy to share this much about a recent eventful morning; just so you all get a feel for just a wee portion of the incredible and magical experiences that I have been blessed with of late. I wrote this at a photo sharing site I work with;
Sun Dog after the storm heralds the birth of my new grandaughter Rachael!
While I was waiting for the bus on my way to a "temp" work assignment I noticed this gorgeous sun dog rainbow. I was so glad I had my camera with me. This was the morning after a significant Valentine's snowstorm swept through our region and then headed east! It was a very cold and crisp morning, the birds were singing beautifully and loudly and I could even hear a woodpecker pecking away in the distance - as if all knew there was something beautiful about the day!
Old Native legend suggests that sundogs are considered an announcement of the expected arrival of someone important . In my case that was so true, my 2nd grandaughter, Rachael ("Rainbow" - my nickname for her now!) was born not 20 minutes after this was taken!
She was born at 8:58 am, February 15th, weighing in at 8lbs 3 ozs. Mom and baby are home now and doing very well. Vanessa, my 1st grandaughter, is thrilled to be Rachael's Big Sister and just love's her little sister! Sorry I can't share photo's (a promise I made to my daughter and son-in-law,) but there's one of Vanessa holding and kissing her baby sister that is just so touching - I'm sure you can imagine the photo and the joy that's brimming over in the hearts of our families!
Was the rainbow coincidence or divine timing? I think the latter - Of Course!
I should add; when I was shooting this photograph of the Sun Dog I noticed, though you can't tell from this angle - this rainbow appears right over my house! (and another cool coincidence? - Rachael was born while we were still in the year of the Dog - re: chinese calendar!)
Blessed BE!
I'm a; 
and a; 
too!
In Love, Peace and Gratitude!
