cheer up!

i'm going to continue to whine about the bummer weather week we've been having in the upper midwest. no sun really effects (affects? i was an english major and i can never get this right) my mood, especially since i'm at home during the day without folks to talk to. so i thought i'd cheer myself up with some rainbow action. found all these via pinterest. without further adieu:
