A day of rainbows...

The sun was out for most of my swim this morning,  then we've had a combination of rain, sun, and now lots of wind.   There was a huge beautiful rainbow as we were driving home after our lunch.

Hot and sour soup



An egg roll comes with the lunch special.



My roasted duck



Jim's pepper beef.



Our fortunes...Jim's is the top one...mine the bottom.


I haven't heard doves yet.  We usually have a pair around but not evidence until today when these two doves were sheltering on the patio wall from the wind.   It seems rather exposed to me but I guess the roofs are higher and there is some shelter.

Taken through a dirty,  rain splattered patio door.



Stormy weather,  Palm Springs style.   Winds will apparently reach gusts of 65 mph.  There have been some pretty strong gusts already.  Lights flickered but still power.   We're charging everything up!  The fireplace will still work but it's still quite warm.  Almost 5pm and the heat hasn't kicked in yet.
