Green

And, just like that, in the blink of an eye, I can not see the forest for the trees.
There is a riot of green going on out my window.

I am fascinated by the green outside my windows and doors today.
Is it possible that there really are that many colors of green?
Yes,I think that there really are a million shades of green.

 The green leaves in our potato bed.
I didn't give this much thought until a friend of mine said, " I love how pretty the leaves of potato plants are....".

Seems I was not paying these the attention I needed to, they are lovely.

 I have been eating the lettuce from the garden, and it is full of greens.
There is the bib lettuce.

There is the red leaf.

   


And, where would we be without the Romain?
All of this, picked fresh, have been used in some form, as either lunch or dinner.
Fresh, lovely,tasty green.

The pond  surrounded by the trees wearing their best green outfits.

Don't we all need a little color with our green?

And, then there is us...

Let's enjoy this before I am posting the brown of summer.
Cheers,

Green

This spring I planted the parsley over by the studio instead if near the house. I was worried that it would not be discovered by my green friends who eat it up and then spin themselves into a cocoon and come out as butterflies.
I like parsley well enough but I like butterflies better.
Next year I may even plant more.

There were at least 9 on the plant and they pretty much ate it all in 3 days.
Well, 3 days that I know of. It was interested to see them get bigger and bigger and bigger. Today I am going to see if they are still there and if there is any spinning going on.

and finally- after waiting, watching and cussing, giving up and deciding to just tear all the plants out -green beans and they are so tasty!
A treat for late summer

Now off to see how the family is in Virginia.
Mark looked at pictures this morning of a man near downtown walking in waist deep water. Which is the area my mother lives in.
Fingers crossed.
