Green

There has been an unusual amount of rain this year. Like way, way more than usual. We have been in a drought situation here for several years, and we are definitely no longer in a drought! That means green. Lots and lots of green. It's quite beautiful and fresh looking. This is the road to our cabin with all the lovely shades of the color of summertime. It reminds me of all I have heard of Ireland with the 40 shades of green. Yes, it's on my bucket list to go there. :)

Doublehead Gap Road

All this green reminds me of the symbolism of water in the Bible. Jesus is called the Living Water, and the Bible is often referred to as water. After a long drought, it sure brings home the symbolism. Without water, everything dries up and eventually dies! With water, there is growth, newness, freshness, vibrancy, and eventually fruit of all that growth.

The deer are all getting fat from all the lush greenery they are eating! Everything is thriving.

 This was taken one morning just after the sun came up and it had been raining all night. One benefit of all that rain is seeing rainbows!

Rainbow over our cabin. My sister says we should call the cabin "Noah's Ark!"

We have probably seen more rainbows in the last year than in all our lives before put together.  Another connection with the Bible and water is God's promise to Noah.

One last pic for you of all the ferns in the valley...we live on the windward side of the mountain, so we have ferns aplenty!

Have a good weekend.
