"i'm baaaack!"

grandmere is in the middle of cooking supper when she sees the golden clouds through the kitchen window. she looks out and sees the beautiful rainbow across the sky. she gets her camera and runs outside. drat! the camera won't start. she forgets that she has taken the battery off the camera last night. she runs back inside to get the battery pack and almost slams on grandpa.

"out of my way!" she screams. grandpa is left spinning like a top, wondering what has happened.

grandmere summerfield is really excited taking a photo of the rainbow as the sun sets. grandmere believes that when you spot a rainbow something good will happen. just then she hears a familiar voice from behind.

"bon soir, grandmere."

grandmere turns around and little wahoo is standing there with her little luggage.

"oh, little wahoo, quelle surprise!" says grandmere. "and you came with a rainbow!"

"i did?" asks little wahoo. she looks up at the sky with massive clouds which looked golden as the light of the setting sun is reflected on them. she sees the rainbow and she smiles. "i guess, i did bring you a rainbow, grandmere."

grandmere summerfield asks little wahoo to stand by the fence and she takes a photo of her with the rainbow behind her. little wahoo smiles.

"you're just in time for supper, little wahoo," says grandmere after she takes a few shots. "i just made seafood risotto for supper and it has shrimp, your favourite!"

"oh, grandmere, paris is beautiful, but i still prefer your cooking," says little wahoo as she embraces grandmere.

Love the writing and your photo of course. When is the hard cover book going to be released? You should put your stories into print really!!!

[karenann]

Your "lucky charm" is back with a gorgeous rainbow! Great pov and love the soft colors. For the children's book that you're going to write?!! No more procrastination!! :) P.S. That seafood risotto sounds amazing. Yum.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm so glad Little Wahoo has returned because Little Piggy declared she was to be the "Same September, Same Subject" model no ifs, ands, or buts. She just KNEW that Little Wahoo might have some adventures to share on 365 and she didn't want to miss out! Too bad we couldn't join you for dinner, it sounds scrumptious!

[Terry]

good job, see it and snap it , that is your motto

[summerfield]

@cheribug - thank you. this is not little wahoo's first appearance on 365. if you are so inclined, check out http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2012-01 :-)

[summerfield]

@pamfromcalgary - thank you, pam. i'm hoping there'd be an agent who'd come across this here. :-)

[summerfield]

@karenann - thank you, KA. the seafood risotto was upstaged by the rainbow and little wahoo. it was supposed to be my post for today. it's not the real risotto, it's the poor man's risotto, made with left over brown rice, chopped red and green bell peppers, mushroom and onions sauteed in olive oil with tuna and shrimp and a can of campbell cream of mushroom soup. voila! instant risotto.

[Mischell]

beautiful and great story along with the picture!

[karenann]

STILL sounds good to me! :)

[summerfield]

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. yes, i was hoping little peggy would be your tuesday subject. you know, we can do a swap at some point or maybe even get them together now that i know how to 'overlay'. you game?

[summerfield]

@sarasdadandmom - hahaha! i wish it's like that every time, terry. most times i'm in awe of something and it would be too late to realize i had a camera in my hand. i had more lost opportunities than good ones. thank you, terry.

[summerfield]

@cottoncandy - thank you, mischell; much appreciated.

[Netkonnexion]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Absolutely! I think we are hoping to go to Batavia for Leigh's birthday (end of September) so we can either have them meet in person, or via the internet. That would be so fun!

[summerfield]

@henrir - thank you, henri. it's not as good as the other rainbows i've seen around here, but we make do with what we get. it's still on my bucket list and i'm sure i'll capture a much better one one of these days.

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian.

@claireuk - thank you, claire. i know i'm cute :-) but maybe you meant little wahoo, the little purple cow that could? she is minutely cute i always lose her, i mean she's always hiding. ;-D

@catsmeowb - thank you, camille, and she's happy to see everyone again.

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. when you have your dates, let me know and i'll tell partner he needs to drive me over or i can take the train.
