On Ash Wednesday it was warm and raining and I got to thinking that "Lent" was an old English word for "springtime." This early in February, though, I realized that in these mountains we still would have more cold and snow. Then late in the afternoon this double rainbow appeared.
The rainbow was the sign that God gave Noah of the covenant between God and our earth. After the flood it was a sign of hope for a new earth. I'll take Wednesday's rainbow as a promise of new life for me and for our earth, even though there may be some wintry trials ahead.
