\t\t\t\t\"rainbows<\/a>With a record number of rainbow sightings since this spring, Stapleton residents are starting to complain about the frequency of rainbows. As a neighborhood situated with sweeping views, rainbows are hard to miss or avoid even if you try.\n \n\u201cI just moved to Stapleton over the summer and was so excited to see a rainbow every few days,\u201d said Jenny Sampson. \u201cOur whole family would run outside to stare. But now, we see them so much it\u2019s almost clich\u00e9. I mean, I was looking for a neighborhood that was nearly perfect without being \u2018too perfect,\u2019 which is a tricky image to pull off when having to deal with things we can\u2019t control, like constant rainbows.\u201d\nConservatory Green resident Lisa Rochford said, \u201cMy kids used to think rainbows were magical and would ask to go searching for the pot of gold. But with so many of the rainbows coming in the late afternoon, I can\u2019t just drop dinner every time a rainbow shows.\u201d She goes on to explain, \u201cOften the rainbows are full, 180-degree arcs with a clear endpoint somewhere nearby. Telling the kids that rainbows don\u2019t really have pots of gold gets me into murky water, and they start asking questions about the tooth fairy and Santa. I can\u2019t dodge this issue forever and wish the rainbows would just stop.\u201d\nAnother Stapleton resident claimed that his Facebook friends are starting to tease him about his rainbow photos, and one even claimed he was lying about their frequency. \u201cI used to post every rainbow photo, but it makes people in the Midwest feel badly about themselves and where they live. I\u2019m sorry they have to live there, but that\u2019s really not my fault,\u201d said Dan Seery.\nOther parents worry that if Stapleton children expect a rainbow every time it rains, it\u2019s going to set them up for unrealistic expectations in other areas, that they\u2019re going to expect ice cream for dessert every night or that it\u2019s always going to snow on Christmas day. The best solution they found was to simply plant more trees in hopes of obscuring the rainbows. If it keeps raining, this will help the trees grow faster to more quickly hide the rainbows. If it doesn\u2019t rain as much, the trees will be smaller but the rainbows won\u2019t be as much of a nuisance anyway.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
