Living at the end of the Rainbow

Last night the boys and I were sitting at our table playing Scrabble.

The lake was calm and smooth, mirroring the sky.

Then suddenly a dense cloud came in and the lake turned a deep grey.

Just as suddenly as the storm, a rainbow appeared, bright and vibrant. 

A second one with fainter hues appeared beside it.

Did you know that when two rainbows appear side by side, the color orders are reversed?

As a child, I always wanted to follow rainbows to see where they ended.

To see if there really was a pot of gold and a sassy leprechaun sitting next to it.

I started to believe that the end just couldn't be found.

It seems that the end of the rainbow is here in Montana, right on our lake.

I said to the boys- 

Look, we live at the end of the rainbow.

Then we imagined the masses of gold that must be at the bottom of the lake.

I am sure there is a scientific reason it is ending in our lake. 

But, I like to think that it is special just for us.
