Late afternoon on October 21 provided great rainbow-spotting opportunities. An unusually wide and fat rainbow could be seen east of State Route 235 on my way from Bluffton to Ada. Was I close to the rainbow's end and the mythical pot of gold? It was tempting to skip the Ada Council meeting and go rainbow chasing, but I didn't. Thanks to Jodi Brauen for this photo.__Paula Scott, editor.
