Today’s weather was everything in dramatic fashion. The morning brought torrential rains, including five tornadoes here in Massachusetts. Tornadoes are rare up here. Then, the sun came out. Next, billowing thunderclouds began to form.
We had to run errands, and we watched those big clouds grow and darken along the highway. More rain! Driving home the sun was coming out again, right after the rain, which is always a lucky and hopeful recipe for a rainbow.
It started to form.
Then it grew across the sky.
One of the songs I sing with children is “The Sun and the Rain Make a Rainbow.” It’s wonderful, and children love it. Since no one sings this on YouTube (I have no idea who wrote or sings the song), I guess I’ll have to sing it for you myself.
There is magic in rainbows. There is wonder in in the sky.
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow,
you gotta put up with the rain.”
~Dolly Parton~

Wow that rainbow 🌈 is amazing. Anita
Thank you, Anita.
Love that rainbow, Jennie! 🌈🌈🌈
Thanks, Ritu! Do you know/sing the song at school?
I’ve not heard it before!
The children love it! It’s perfect for spring.
I’ll see what I can do! 🤗
😍
rainbows are magic and love the song!
Yes and yes! 😍
Rainbows are so special.
They are, Darlene!
Three seasons in one day there Jennie lovely rainbow! …. I just loved watching and listening to you singing that lovely rainbow 🌈.
Yes, all in a day! I’m glad you enjoyed the post and my attempt at singing. 😀
I really did you are so fun 😊😊
Thanks so much, Willow. Yes, I’m known for being the fun one. Lucky me. 😀
OK, I’m ready for California’s upcoming hurricane!
Good news, Jacqui! Keep us posted, please.
I love the beautiful cloud-scape as much as the rainbow. Thanks for including your video, Jennie. Hugs.
Awww…so glad you liked it, Teagan. Hugs!
Love this action song, Jennie! Sure wish I’d known this one when I was still teaching:)
Thanks, Becky. The children love it, and I do, too! I learned it at a teacher conference ages ago.
You captured that rainbow very well, Jennie. We had some heavy rain overnight, but woke up to sunshine and 24C. (75F) A late summer is better than no summer at all.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, it is better than no summer at all. I’m glad you enjoyed the rainbow. I hope my singing wasn’t too bad.🙂 Best to you, Pete.
The weather is crazy these days, Jennie. Southern California expects enormous amounts of rain this weekend, equivalent to a full year’s amount in one day for some places like Palm Springs.
I was thinking about you with the approaching Hurricane. You must be far enough north that you don’t have to seriously worry. Rainbows are always special. I hope my singing did this great song justice. 🙂
Great rainbow shots, Jennie. We had some wild weather here as well.
It has been wild, and much of it has been south of us, your neck of the woods.
We had over an inch and a half of rain between 7:00 and 8:00 am yesterday
Yikes!
I don’t know that song. But I do love your rainbows! There is magic there, all we need to do is look.
Thanks, Pam. Yes, all we need to do is look.
That is true!
🙂
That song is darling. Thank you Jennie . 🙂😇
Five tornadoes in MA. That’s so unusual, Jennie. I love the rainbow though. You seem to be having a lot of those! And great idea to sing – the perfect solution if you couldn’t find the song elsewhere. Loved it.
Yes, that many tornadoes is unusual. It seems we have had more rainbows, which is wonderful. I’m so glad you liked me singing the song. It was the perfect solution. Best to you, Diana.
🙂
Wow fantastic rainbow, Jennie. Lovely song so beautiful ❤️
Thank you, Kamal!
Always welcome Jennie 😊
Loved your composition, pics too
Thank you.
Jennie, I just have to say it, I adore and love you! You are a light in my life and so many others. I sang along with you twice so I can sing this to my grandchildren when I see them again. How perfect that you were blessed with the rainbows (and not the devastation from the tornadoes–how rare and scary!). Thank you for being YOU! RF 🎶❤️🌈
Awww…. I am so glad you will be singing this song along with your grandchildren! It is a winner. Remember when you do the grass, have your hands (palms) facing you. Thank you for your very kind words. I really was blessed with rainbows! 💕
You’re so welcome! And thank you, Jennie! Yes, I will do just that with the grass! What blessings! 💕
😍
You’re a star Jennie. Now, you have to put that vid on Youtube, since someone else may be looking for that song. 🙂 ❤
Oh…I never though to put the video on YouTube. Yes, someone else might be looking for the song, just like I was. Will do!
Yay, good for you! x
Debby, just for fun I looked on YouTube to see if it was there (technology is not my best friend.) In 4 hours it says I’ve had 4.2K views. 😳😳😳 I doubt this is true or possible.
What? Can you share the link with me and I’ll check it out! Is the channel under your name? I told you you’re a star!!! Lol 🙂 Let me know. ❤
OMG!!! I clicked on YouTube and typed in the song. I’m #2 on what shows up, and I have close to 5,000 views!!!! Here is the video:
Omg Jennie. You are one of those overnight sensations! Lol. Good for you. Just remember – I’m your manager! Lol 🙂 🙂 xx
Haha!! And yes, you are my manager!! I think I should post a quick follow-up, thanks to you.😍
Lolol ❤
😍
BTW, I didn’t type in my channel or anything. I just typed in the name of the song. Voila!
Good to know yours is first come up, lol. You’re golden! 🙂
😀
Just posted, with credit to you! 😍
Lol, heading over! 🙂 x
I hope the link to you is correct!! If not, let me know.

Hi Jennie, lovely rainbow pictures. The song is such fun. I can see why the children love it.
Thank you, Robbie. The song has a follow-up. D.J. Kaye suggested I put it on YouTube since no one else had. I did, and in a day I already have 4.8K views!
Wow, that’s wonderful 🦋
😍
No rainbow can hide from you, Jennie! 🙂 A great capture! xx Michael
Thanks so much, Michael. You are so nice and kind!
