まるさんの おぼえた日記 - 2011年8月24日(水)

It rains on and off all day today.
It rained at about 6:30 this morning.
It was the time for my daughter to go to do ラジオ体操.
Anyway, she went to the parking lot of this apartment where to meet pupils living in here.
As a result of discussion between them, they decided to call off ラジオ体操 today.
And she came back to home soon.
At that time, I saw the sky by chance.
And I could see a big rainbow appeared on the west of the sky.
I shouted in spite of myself,
"Wow, how big rainbow it is! I haven't seen a rainbow for a long time."
I expected a little on the chance of happening something lucky.
But nothing have happened for the moment.
