This was a great post, and I'm posting it for myself and other writers: hughhowey.com/book-ends/

"led" not "lead", dangit. King of Typos here.

A rainbow stretches across the sky, too wide to fit into my phone's camera, just off my side deck and above our driveway. A second rainbow is trying to take shape above it, just because it can.

Yesterday's downpour turned into bright sunshine, and that lead to this:

I've been wanting to do this for a while -- a "deep dive" on something I've been thinking about or something that's been bugging me... Here's my first!

And happy birthday!!
