Another short one today . . . couple of things to tell you . . . here’s some MUSICA to go with wishes for a HAPPY . . .
Every day a little deeper into fall. Out on our walk, I caught wishes galore falling from a tree. Thinking over how to spend them. Riches!
And look at this! A white rainbow ~ have you ever seen one? Us either! They’re rare! Another perfect place to make a wish! To come upon this took our breath away! I had to look it up. It’s sometimes called a ghost rainbow or a “fogbow,” they’re made from the same stuff of rainbows, but because fog droplets are smaller than raindrops, when the sun shines on it, the color goes away. Interesting eh? Morning science! I just reduce it all to one word, magic.
So here’s why I’m writing … to let you know there is a special Zoom program tomorrow, Sunday, November 8, for anyone interested, you can read about it and sign up Here. From my kitchen to yours! I will still have ONE MORE, next month, on December 6th, and will give the details for it soon. (That picture above is my “set up” light for Zoom so I don’t look like I’m in a closet! My stove looks good in it!)
So now I have to go work on putting together the slide show! I’ll be back when it’s over to talk about all our normal stuff! I have about 16 things I want to tell you! Gorgeous here on Martha’s Vineyard today, wish you were here! Blessings on you Girlfriends. With so much love . . . xoxox
I am totally fascinated by the White Rainbow!!! I think you are right, scientifically it is MAGIC.
That is a beautiful rainbow. Thank you for sharing this with your readers.
We can learn something new! White Rainbow, little miracle.
That lovely white rainbow’s timing was just right!…A rainbow of peace! Looking forward to your next blog….but this little one is most lovely, too. Thanks for what you do, Susan! Your “girlfriends” get to reap the rewards, and we’re most grateful. A super duper lovely day to you! Hello to Joe and Jack! s
I believe the white rainbow was a sign of what turned into a very VERY good day!
Dear friend, Susan,
I am watching the news, trying to relax all the stresses I have been feeling. Then I opened your blog to a perfect photo of the white rainbow. I hate to sound like a weirdo, but I am taking it as good things to come. We can build a bridge. We need this bridge now. Thank you.
Your news is always welcoming! I love this season and baking fall foods!
Love that white rainbow, I had never heard of them. Also love the Patti Page song, a happy day!
I love the white rainbow! Once I saw a white rainbow, but it was more distinct than yours, maybe not from fog droplets, but still magical! Enjoy all the joys of autumn! I know you do! PS Looking forward to getting my Susan Branch puzzle soon! Fall is a perfect time to work on a puzzle!
Yes today is certainly a day to rejoice and reflect 🇺🇸Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos 🥰Have a great weekend ❤️
Love the white rainbow… I think it’s from God to let us know we are all going to be alright and get our country back again❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you could, what ring light did you purchase? I’m just now realizing I need one for my online classes with kiddos.
It’s called UBeesize TR50 ~ I got it on Amazon. It helps!
Perfect day for a white rainbow and a fresh start!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the science lesson. I had never heard of a white rainbow. Truly magic!
So pretty…glad you shared it !
To see the white rainbow was a treat!
Yup, magic it is !
I have so enjoyed your virtual teas and book talks!
My mom and I watched one together, with our
SB mugs of tea ❤️ You are a natural in front of
the camera, Susan! One of the silver linings in
this damn panic has been these virtual presentations!
Hugs from the PNW,
Suzanne xo
Oh how nice to hear that, Suzanne. I have no idea … but I’m nervous, so I’m glad it doesn’t show too much! Hugs to you and your mom, give her a big hello!❤️
We’ve never seen one until your picture!!! Beautiful!!!
I thought double rainbows were special, but a ghost rainbow??? You are right as always, fairy sprinkles all over the world can happen at any time.
God bless you Susan
Love the white rainbow. You really picked up my day!
I think the white rainbow was a sign of the good news that was delivered today! Even the Earth is rejoicing that we have a new President! ❤️ #lovewins
Your white rainbow is so beautiful. Definitely fairies at work!
Susan, I loved learning about the fogbow. So interesting. Yes your stove looks beautiful. Wishing you and Joe blessings, xoxo, Susie
Never heard of a white rainbow, how amazing is Mother Nature! Magic on a beautiful autumn day!
Oh wow a white rainbow, so beautiful and oh so magical, thank you for sharing it with us. yoour kitchen is just the coziest happy zooming x
The White Rainbow is just lovely.
Signed up to hear you tomorrow. Will be a lovely way to usher in the season.
Thanks for sharing the information. See you soon!
Yesterday, the leaves were falling from our maple trees like rain. My granddaughter and I tried to catch one so we could make a wish, but it was windy and they were swirling everywhere. But, it sure was fun to rake into piles to jump in. I love the white rainbow! Never even heard of them before. Have a blessed day, Susan (and Joe and Jack.)
Thank you for the rainbow! I don’t do zoom, but I enjoy your column!
Last month, I wrote about preparing to evacuate, due to fire. Thanks be to God, the fire is 85% contained, and we did not have to leave! It was a useful exercise, but glad not to leave the little domestic treasures of home! Happy November, Thanksgiving, and gorgeous Fall! Sue B
I’m so happy for you Sue. Those little collections have a lot of heart in them. Stay safe! xoxo
The rainbow is simply magnificent! And your stove is absolutely the bees knees. 🐝 It makes me want to take up cooking and baking. I just love collecting your cookbooks and have every one of them… maybe you could do cooking tutorials. * hinting * Happy Autumn Susan!
Happy day, happy day! Your blog is just icing on the cake❤️. You spent those wishes on falling leaves and white rainbows well, dear Susan☺️
I look forward to your words and photos. Love your kitchen!
I love Martha’s Vineyard and looking forward to another visit. ❤️
Simply BEAUTIFUL!! What a gift!!
Thank you SO much for sharing!
Today everything is PERFEC even if it’s just for today. I see America and Americans beginning to heal already!
It truly is a beautiful day!
I’ll make sure my outdoor chores are done so I can join your talk with the Women’s Exchange!
Thank you for the heads-up Susan!
Beautiful here in Falmouth too.
Love the white rainbow! It’s a first for me too! Thanks for sharing!
How special to see the white rainbow, completely new to me! Thank you so much for sharing the photo.
Hi Susan!
I actually was inspired by you to catch a leaf 🍁 in midair this October. I have never seen a white rainbow 🌈, but I have seen many other foggy things over water or mountains ⛰. I hope to see one someday! Fascinating!
I will try to Zoom in.
Hugs 🤗
Margot
The fog bow is so eerie, for sure. Tell you what else is eerie, is a mirage, especially if you are eight miles off shore, it can be disorienting to say the least.
Have a wonderful time with you meeting!
Waving~~~Deb in Wales
We have had people post pictures of fog rainbows here in Cambria, Ca. this year. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the magic yet.. I’ll keep looking!
LOVE the white rainbow…love that we in Southern California are FINALLY getting some rain…and absolutely LOVE that today is a beautiful and wonderful day for our country. LOVE the United States of America! Thank you, Susan, for all your wonderful thoughts and giving us fantastic things to focus on during the past months.
I had never heard of a rainbow that looked like that! It is beautiful and magical.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Xoxoxo
Dolores
How special this fogbow–a wonder of nature!!!
Have fun tomorrow with your Zoom program.
Stay save and healthy
Greetings, Trijntje from the Netherlands
I’ve never seen or heard of a white rainbow. How fascinating. Magic, indeed! I also wanted to say good luck tomorrow! I’ve had the privilege to attend most of your Zoom events, and they’ve all been wonderful. Oh, happy day! We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for. Hugs from New Orleans!
Thank you Hanna .. was so much fun!💞
Short but sweet🌻🦃🌾🍁🍂🐿🦔
I just love. your kitchen especially the stove and the red accent pieces. So cozy and warm…..inviting. Wishing you all the best!
What a beautiful fogbow! I saw a white “rainbow” at night one time in Alaska. It was interesting and very different. Warm wishes to you from Wisconsin 🙂
I am going to ask God to allow me to see one white rainbow here in Central Iowa. There is something so pure and undefiled about white. Thank you, Susan, for introducing us to white rainbows.
Love the White Rainbow! Sooo lovely and truly magical.
I have never seen a white rainbow – amazing! And, who knows if many of us ever will. Wow! Thank you for sharing that. Hope you and Joe have a wonderful weekend!
Hoping to see you tomorrow! That fogbow is so interesting. I once saw a Moonbow years ago at sea. It was like a negative of a color photo, special and very beautiful!
I read about and listened to Kylie Minogue’s new song “Magic” this morning. She says “it’s time to dress in sequins and glitter through the darkness”. I like that idea, and the lyrics to her song.
Thank you for your magical post!
Wow–amazing. I have never seen or heard of a white rainbow. That’s wonderful, Susan, thank you so much for sharing.
I am embarrassed and sorry to say that I haven’t figured out Zoom but I would so love to see you tomorrow. I know it will be great!
Just google Youtube “how to work Zoom” and they will show you. It’s literally like 2 buttons to push, SO easy!
It is a BEAUTIFUL day, isn’t it, Susan?!
Fantastic!
I need one of those zoom lights.
Wow! I have never even heard of a white rainbow. It is amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us.
A White rainbow Is one of two things. Moonbow, a rainbow produced by light reflected from the moon rather than from direct sunlight. Fog bow, a rainbow produced by the tiny water droplets of fog, which has much weaker colors and can appear white.
I am imagining you doing a magical HAPPY dance right now, dear Susan!
I love th e Musica… for this blog post! So wonderful! I’ve never been to Cape Cod and sure do wish I could visit soon!
Thank you Susan for the lovely Fall scenes. You never Disappoint !
I am having a tough go with the online shopping. Is it possible to order by phone ? I haven’t
seen any number posted. I have a few items I am eager to order and want to get this done as quickly as possible. Hoping Sherry ( do I have the right person?) can help me out !
I am an OlD fan and love whatever you do. Truly
Yes, Jane, no problem … call (805) 474-5836 OR write [email protected]/~susanbs3/susanbranch/
A white rainbow – all the colors and no differences to see – what a lovely thing for a special day like today!
Today us such a happy day for Happy, the Corgi, and me. Back from the summer in Colorado to Texas. It’s still hot here, but the leaves are starting to change. Wish all days could be this happy! I will always remember November 7th as a beautiful day.
WOW…a White Rainbow…I think it should be called a Magic Rainbow…that’s what I will call it in my mind, at least! Susan, thank you for brightening up my day!
May we all get back to normalcy 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙. A peaceful United States of America!
Oh Happy Day!❤️
Hi Susan,
What a nice surprise to see blog when going to check out the store. That whatever rainbow is so cool! I’ve never seen or heard of one. Have a happy and cozy day with rain and hail here in the Inland Empire of S. California. Have an amazing Zoom tomorrow.
Blessings
Oh my goodness, I promise I had not been drinking when I wrote the note above. LOL! The white rainbow is so cool-not that whatever rainbow! And seeing it on my desktop, it’s even more amazing. And then it should have said, ‘we are having a happy and cozy day…’My, my. I typed the former not on my cell phone and that’s never a good idea.
Stay well! Happy November. 🙂
LOL, probably spell-check taking over! xoxo
Happy November, Susan, on this historic day! Counting our blessings and feeling grateful, indeed! Autumn is my favorite season. Love the leaves and your quote!
Sending good wishes from Austin! Love~ Sarah and Sadie
It’s November so just to tell you again how I love that you always put Roy Rogers’ birthday on your calendar :-).
He was heaven! 💖
My older brothers and sisters loved Roy Rogers. Being the 10th child I have memories of their memories. As with the Beetles, and Poodle skirts, which I loved that my sister let me have her’s later when it fit me. I wore it to trick or treat one year. Would twirl in it! Just missed out on such good stuff in the 50’s! 😫🤣❤️❤️
LOL Dezi! My dear sister, the youngest of us, almost 15 years younger than me, would agree with you wholeheartedly. She followed me around in her little white go-go boots wishing so much she could go out with me! We are still SUCH good friends.
Susan, I love that you are such great friends! It shows in your books. I actually followed my forth to oldest brother around everywhere. I was a tom boy, and people would ask if I even owned a dress. But my nose was in a book for most of my childhood. LOL. 📚📚
I can relate to that… For me, generally speaking, my major was in babies and books … with minors in old movies, embroidery, knitting, and hopscotch.
IS’NT LIFE SWEET-GOD SENDS US WHIE RSINBOWS T O WOW US .
JIM AND I BOUGHT A RED PLANT TO ENTICE THE HUMMINGBIRDS BACK TO OUR YARD. AS I WAS LOOKING AND WONDERING WHERE THEY WENT, ONE CAME UP TO OUR NEW RED PLANT AND FED. THANK YOU GOD FOR SMALL GIFTS.
Wow! I have never heard of a white rainbow. How very cool 😎
I have never heard of a white rainbow before! How beautiful!
Never seen or heard of a white rainbow!! Love learning something new😊 My poor porch is covered with leaves…as if it snowed leaves out there. But mine are not as gorgeous as yours. I love all the colors that scatter about your yard!! Do you press some of them? My daughter found a few on her walks when she was visiting and now I have them in my journal—so someday in the future someone may find them and ‘oh what a nice surprise that will be for them, I hope!!’
Enjoy your November🍁
I know it’s true, I do that to my books all the time! Love the future, wish to send them love and hope.❌⭕️
Hi Susan🍁. Yes it is a fogbow! Aren’t they fascinating tho. My photographer hubby has taken pictures of them here in Minnesota
That magic rainbow is surely in celebration! I’m so happy for you all over there, best thing to happen in 2020. Now we just need to get rid of Boris and Brexit over here! Xx
Don’t you love when nature surprises you with its beauty! I love your morning science and the fogbow. See you tomorrow!
That’s cool! I’d like to think it’s there for another reason. Hope restored. We can all stop holding our breaths. (but wear a mask. 😉 )
Now that my friend was a Holy Moment….very very special
And so it was. xoxo
Susan, did my comment go through on here tonight? I’ve left comments on the last 3 of your blogs and didn’t see them after posting them. Wondering if it’s my computer.
Here’s one of them!
Just what I was going to say! A good omen, for sure! Thanks for sharing, that really was cool to see.
White rainbow??? Who knew!!
Beautiful rainbow. I have never seen oner like that one. I love New England in the fall. Miss seeing Martha’s Vineyard. We used to travel there for anniversaries and vacations. We have retired to Florida. Couldn’t travel north this year yet due to Covid-19. Ugh! Thanks for the update.
White rainbow???? Who knew!!
White rainbow and fallen leaves…great. I can’t join anyone on zoom, no mic no camera on my big old desktop computer. 🙂
The ghost rainbow is amazing…I’ve never heard of such a thing, thanks for capturing it and sharing with us. And oh, how will we ever wait…”16 things I want to tell you!” Holding our breaths and anxiously looking forward to the next post!
Hi Susan!
Spent a couple hours on Chapin Beach in Dennis, MA. Unfortunately I did not see your fog bow (never heard that term before😉). However the clouds were very wispy and the water shimmered like a bowl of diamonds reminding me that every day can be magical if you look for it. So grateful to live near the water! Thanks for the heads up about the Tea with SB tomorrow. Going to sign up now.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Just beautiful…you learn something new every day!!…thank you for sharing.
Amazing! I’ve never heard of a fogbow–I learned something new today. Thanks for keeping touch– you always bring cheer.
I’ve never heard of a white rainbow! How neat! I have that same red pot on your stove…anything good simmering? Gorgeous weather in Texas! XO
Magical White Rainbow, surely a sign of hope. And we had our first snow on the mountain in Calif., the ground is drinking it up in delight. xoxo
Love the Fog bow! don’t you just love natures tricks!
lovely and thank you for sharing.
I can practically hear the leaves crunching under my feet on your lawn!
I really enjoy the “joy” you bring to your life and ours. I’m having some yucky energy (it is a strange time) alone, overwhelmed and sad for many reasons! But you dear woman are a deep breath of goodness and light🍁🍂🍁🍂🦃
Sweet dreams
Stay strong Colleen. I hope you’re in a place where you can get outside a little bit. Sending love. ❌⭕️❌⭕️
Love the “bow”.Have a loverly day
I learned something today! Had never heard of a fogbow or ghost rainbow! Thank you!
White Rainbow!!!! Perfect sighting on this magical day 🇺🇸✨
I have never seen or heard of such a thing – a ghost rainbow – yes, pure magic!
Thank you for sharing this glorious sight!
Woooow…a white rainbow… I’m mezzzmerized! ~8<O
I have more photos of it for the next post. 👏
Magic is right!! I have never heard of a white rainbow but now I know I’ll be on the lookout. Beautiful day here in Kentucky too. Thanks for the short visit.
Jaw dropping awe in seeing this magical rainbow! so happy you shared it! A wonderful November to you Susan!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful white rainbow! Thanks for the lovely thoughts you share.
