Green Is It!!!!

You know those goofy surveys that get posted on Facebook?  The ones where a friend wants you to copy, paste and complete a survey …. just so they can get to know you better?  Have you ever skipped school?  Ever ridden in an ambulance?  All that stuff?

I usually participate, I like to see what friends say, and usually enjoy the questions.  Sometimes they ask “What’s your favorite season?”  I always answer  “all of them”.  Which is true for me.  As each season rolls around, I love them all.  I like the cold, I like the flowers, I like the birds, the trees changing colors…all of it.

If one of those surveys came up now, I would say Spring is my favorite season!!  Even though I live in the Great Miami Valley, and our weather can be schizophrenic, ie. 80 degrees one day and 34 the next.  We can have gorgeous spring time weather one day and the next have 2” of snow on the ground.  I still love it.  Right now, I am obsessing over the color ‘green’.

We live in a small neighborhood, with lots of trees all around.  In the winter, after all the leaves fall, we can see through the trees to the major highway down the road.  Everything is gray or brown, and here in our area, we have bunches and bunches of gray, overcast cloudy days.  Again, I don’t mind at all….BUT when spring arrives, we go from that brown and gray to brilliant green, everywhere!!!

It really is a huge difference and I love it.  One doesn’t think about the huge variety of the color green until it is in your face, day in and day out.  Each type of tree has a different color of green leaves.  The neighbors all have different types of grass in their yards that are different shades of green.  All the plants that are popping up everywhere are different shades of green.  Put that against the glorious blue skies that we have on the rain free days, and you have an artist pallet of fabulous colors.   

I know, I’m a bit goofy and nerdy, but so help me….right now, GREEN is it!!!

 

PS - From last weeks post, I do have a lunch date set with Marilyn for 4/27.  This should be fun!!!!
