Rainbow Cupcakes

Inspired by the theme in our family the past few days, Emma made rainbow cupcakes (with a little nod to the Christmas season with her choice of paper liners). I don't think they would ship safely to the Muskoka region, so they will have to be eaten locally. Sorry 'bout that Mom. :)

The Rainbow is Growing

Here's a rainbow that stretches from my paintbox to Lake Muskoka where my mom lives.  My daughters Chloé and Emma are working on paintings that might get added tomorrow.

For anyone wondering what all these rainbows mean, I can say this.  My mom is going through something very difficult.  I got the news Tuesday night and then woke up to a beautiful rainbow on Wednesday morning.  As my youngest daughter said to me, 'You saw it as a sign because that's what you do.'  She knows her mom. :)

I posted the photo of the rainbow I saw with a message to my mom and she appreciated it.  Then my friends Lucile and Julie forwarded rainbow photos of their own for me to post for her (see the previous post). My mom appreciated them too. So if there can be a little hope and encouragement provided from here while she really needs it, it seems only right to add a few more rainbows. ♥

A Rainbow of Best Wishes

Here is an absolutely beautiful rainbow sent all the way from Paris to my Mom from my sweet friend Lucile.

Here is a stunning double rainbow sent to my Mom by my fellow artist Julie who lives in England.  This particular photo was taken in Burnsall in the Yorkshire Dales. Julie lives in Wakefield which is not very far from where my Mom's great-great-grandfather lived (in Howden). I think that's kind of cool!

And here's a beautiful quote I found:

Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.
Napoleon Bonaparte

If you have a photo or picture of a rainbow* that you would like me to share with my Mom, I will post it here. You can send it to me at kathleenmaunder at gmail.com ♥


*I would just ask that it be an image that belongs to you.
