Right now the store has lots of green: green shamrock stickers, green hats, green leprechauns, green and gold boas, green glasses, green art projects for kids, greenery, green rocks, plastic green buckets and even green gnomes (gnomes are IN this year – big time)!
Green is the color of spring (though some argue it’s yellow
for dandelions).
I love green. In my home I have a bunch of green plants
(ivy, palms, succulents) and green décor. I have a green purse and green clothing
and green kitchen utensils.
At the store green catches my eye – the greener the better
(lettuce, peppers, snow peas, broccoli, limes).
But I didn’t always like green. My mom told me that green
shirt made my face look pale. I liked it because it made my eyes look green and
… everyone wanted green eyes, right?
Those words of my mom stayed with me as I got pinched every
March 17 because I failed to wear green. Kids can be so cruel.
But I’ve made peace with green. I celebrate green as the
snow melts and the daffodils emerge. I count the shades of green as the leaves
explode on the maple, oak, hickory, ash, hawthorn, elm. Green in my garden
means a harvest in August.
On March 17 I’ll be wearing a green – Kelly Green – shirt under
my blue and orange uniform with matching green earrings with pine needles in
them that my daughter made.
I love green ...
and I’m pretty sure green is the color of heaven.
