There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in,
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away,
the whining of his wheels just makes it colder.
He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky
and ten days on the road are barely gone.
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove,
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm.
Hey, it's good to be back home again.
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend.
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again.

Good morning, everyone. 7am with a mug of Twining's Ceylon. It's no better than their English Breakfast tea. Different, but no better. It's a 'ho hum' tea.... I'll hit the import supermarket today and find some good tea. My own boxes haven't come yet and I'm getting tired of drinking this junk!
Regarding that rainbow photo... Thanks for the comments. I'll be a lot happier with the pic when I can use my 'real' computer to process it. The monitor on my laptop hasn't been optimized for correct colors, which is why I said that photo is just a rough draft of the final.
You can't seem them because of the storm, but there are mountains lining the far side of the valley, not too many kilometers away. We live on the west side of the city, with another mountain range right at our backs about 3-4k away, with this view over the entire city. It's great for fireworks watching as most of them get set off right in the area of the rainbow! Pretty much the only thing between us and the mountain to the west of us, view-wise, is the building we lived in last time we were here... the big white one. We lived one floor down from the top (same as here) in the front left corner facing east (same as here,) so our views now are almost identical, except now we can see both east AND west! You can't see it in this photo, but there is a wonderful temple on the top of this mountain, with several viewing areas along the road winding its way up there.
Time for a tea refill, then off to help a friend move some furniture, the a hunt for better tea!
