Bakery and rainbows

A warm but very windy day again. I went with Bryce to lunch with an old work mate in Lower Hutt, at the Janus Bakkerij that I've always wanted to try. They had the cutest caterpillars there made out of meringue. It felt so good sitting sipping coffee out in the sun.

As we drove home, we noticed this partial rainbow around the sun:
A good explanation for this rainbow comes from a Seattle local news site. Basically the rainbow is a reflection off of the ice crystals from high clouds--

We thought about getting a bottle of wine and going to the Petone shore-- we got the bottle of wine but were so tired that we decided to sit in our little side lawn. For once the wind had slowed down-- we didn't even need to hold our wine glasses (so that the wind wouldn't topple them). A small miracle.

Bryce started packing tonight. It was hard to see the half empty closet.
