giant candy cane appears in sky

at the end of a very grey tuesday, the sun started to set turning the sky a beautiful blue. I noticed the candy cane as I waited at the traffic light. yesterday we had torrential rains most of the day. at one point I waited half an hour before leaving my car. finally I couldn't wait any longer and pretty much got soaked as I ran into the village hall to pay this years water bill. is it just me, or would you describe that last sentence as a bit ironic?
