I Love Rainbows

I have always loved searching for rainbows. After a storm, I love to go outside and look all around to see if I can spot a really good one. I have, on occasion, even seen a double. I have also been lucky enough to see the whole rainbow. Usually only a portion or half of one is visible. I love the vibrant colors they contain. As a kid, I remember being fascinated with a prism, or even a crystal from a chandelier. When the sun would shine through it and splash those beautiful colors on a wall.....mesmerizing!
During the time I had my daycare here, I painted lots of bright colors on the walls of the toy room. We had a family tree, a happy sun, a sleepy moon, cute caterpillars and butterflies, and a mail box. Would I leave out a rainbow? I think not, it takes up a whole wall in here.

I have since painted over some of the art, but several have become permanent fixtures on my walls, including the rainbow. I added a shelf to the wall and put my most precious possessions on the shelf....because we all know, these treasures, at the end of MY rainbow... are more precious than gold, and, a story yet to be told!
