Sunday Afternoon Drive


image: google


rain drops drip on the windshield

 wipers trying their best to clean them

my husband cribbing 

about the car getting dirty after a car wash

kids laughing at him 

radio playing in the background 

suddenly there comes the sun

rainbow forms in the sky

the conversation continues about how the rainbow forms

i  enjoy the moment 

admiring its simplicity

the conversation continues

  5. I love the ordinariness, yet specialness, of family activities. A rainbow is always beautiful to see.
