I was chatting on the phone with daughter Kate when odd things began to happen. A light was flashing on the base plug for the doorbell, the CD player began playing in the kitchen, and a few other noises came from the rest of the house. Usually the clock on the stove blinks when the electricity goes out, but it didn’t this time. The generator did not come on. There was no interruption in our phone connection, either. Neighbors checked in with a group chat. Everyone noticed the blip. Holly works for the electric company, and she was contacting the man on duty tonight.

I noticed the light outside was an odd color and went to the porch. There was a brilliant rainbow, and I saw a very pale second rainbow. The others saw the rainbow but couldn’t see the extra one. About that time granddaughter-in-law Sarah texted that she and Nathaniel were driving nearby. She wondered if I could see the rainbow they were seeing. The heavens certainly got our attention at that time!

The second rainbow is more visible down low, near the top of the tree.
