Hey!!  This is my 100th Blog!  On this 100th Blog Day, I was treated to a full rainbow on the beach!

It stormed all day yesterday!  One squall after another passed through.  We were at the coast and all night I heard the rain slamming against the window panes.  Then this morning,  we woke up to calm!  I started out the day talking to my cousin Rosetta on the phone.  Then I grabbed a cup of coffee and walked around the garden, impressed to see a few hardy roses, calendula, dhalias, and fuschias still in bloom!

Here are some photos from today:

My Saint Francis, protector of animals, looks out over the autumn garden.  How nice to share his name!

It’s too cold to sit out at the table, but it is a reminder of pleasant meals enjoyed outdoors:

More shells collect near the entry way door:

Fuschia still attracts hummingbirds this time of year at Ocean Shores!

I cut these precious  flowers from the garden and placed them in a glass of water:

Then off to the beach for a walk!

And just as we decided to turn around and head back home, the most beautiful rainbow appeared!!

I feel as if I have been blessed by Rainbow Magic today!  Lately I have been seeing extraordinary beauty all around me.  And it seems all I have to do is look!
