Veronica writes, "After we left the Extension Office after a class given there tonight we saw a rainbow as we crossed over the bypass. By the time we got to Loy Cemetery Road, it was a vibrant rainbow. Even a double rainbow was visible. When we saw these we pulled off the road to admire them and take a picture. When we got home we saw a complete one over our fields of wheat! beautiful!"
