Bio
I was born the same year Kennedy was assassinated. My parents got divorced during the Summer of Love ('67) I'm not a journalist, I'm just a dedicated Democratic Library Assistant with a lot of bottled-up rants. But I'll try to be amusing when possible. _________________________ My Late Friend Kim would agree with this: "Nobody should die because they can't afford Health Insurance. Nobody should go broke because they get sick." Teddy, Greg and Roger, I'm SO with you on this one. And also with everyone else displaying this. --------- "I wrestle like Jane Austen and write like Jesse 'The Body' Ventura." Justice must be done for Trayvon Martin.

 Christmas Eve Color Post

  

            It wasn’t an easy choice—as a painter, I simply love colors, with the possible exceptions of shocking pink and orange, or as a childhood friend aptly named it, “monkey-vomit green.” (I see this as a yellowish, muddy, nasty shade of green.)  But for the purpose of Will Someone Feed The Cat’s Color Assignment, I choose 

Green 

 

   Pale, like a celadon vase:

Or like jade:

Jade Bracelet 

 

Clear, like an emerald:

Emerald 

 

Bright, like young spring leaves:

Spring Leaves 

 

Inviting, like a lawn or a meadow:

Green Lawn

 

Life-giving, for photosynthesis:

Photosynthesis 

 

Deep, like a conifer forest:

 
Forest

I like the look of green eyes:

Green Eyes girl 

(in a person, or a cat!)

And I find that a pastel green house has a certain retro charm!

Green Victorians 

 

And lastly, thanks to Natalie K. Munden for the reminder,

Green like Kermit the frog!

Lovely lovely Green, such a beautiful photo essay. Celedon, yes. I have on a celedon sweater now, to match my eyes, so there you have it. Wonderful and great pictures. R
Green is life and green is using our resources to maintain life, so I think it may be my favorite colors, in all its shades.
Gorgeous color choice . . . It's not that easy, being green . . .
You've painted life with this varied green palette!
I love all these greens!
Very nicely done.
:-)
Loved the green, especially the eyes. Now, throw a little plaid in there and.., just kidding!
R~~
I always think of green as the colour of life dear.
This is a very green post.
Or green with envy, for when someone else gets the toy (object) you coveted.

Or green, for the Kate Spade bag I asked Santa for.

Yes, I do love green. I'm a big fan of the photosynthesis. It's good stuff.
Thanks for coming by my Verdant post, everyone!
Rita, Nice celadon sweater. =o)

Lea, I see you chose my OTHER favorite, blue. I almost went with it, but green won.

Lorraine, Thanks! And thanks for thinking of this project

Owl--you just have to know the right shades!

Pilgrim, I just love the spring, when everywhere you look, there's green. I loved my trip to Ireland in 2003 for that reason.

Spotted mind, Thanks.

Scanner.. I have a certain fondness for attractive plaids!

Misson and Surly, thanks!

Mrs. Michaels--I LOVE Emeralds. I'm also rather fond of my jade ring that was a fortieth birthday present from my Mom
Great eye for beautiful greens. And great beautiful green eyes.
I love green and you have shared it with us beautifully!
Lovely collection. The garden and forest are particularly inviting, as Oklahoma is having its worst-ever snow storm! Merry Christmas.
Green is a calming colour. Green is well, healthy. Great colour!
Beautiful and fun! Kermit the Frog would be shedding a tear...
Frank, thanks for stopping by!

Lunchlady, thanks!

Cindy, as the woman going through the pregnancy, I think you should have put your foot down and insisted on Emerald. (But Rebecca is also a nice name.) Thanks for stopping by!

Marcellaqb, thank you! I just plain love green.

Steve, sending you warm, springish thoughts!

Skeletonwmn, calming and healthy, you got that right. =o)

Natalie... Omigosh! I can't believe I forgot Kermit!
Hi Shiral,
I like these greens, too. Thanks for looking at my collection.
