Outside My Window…

I can see my new hot pink and lime green coleus.


On a quick trip to Montgomery this past week to deliver birthday

gifts to our grandsons,

I spotted these at the Willis Kroger.


I almost swooned.
(Dramatic I know. )

I know hot pink and lime green may not have been on

God’s original

botanical color wheel,

but I am so glad

these colors now are.

I should have bought them ALL.

Menu

Sunday lunch after church:  Pollo Palenque

grilled chicken

steamed broccoli, zucchini, and carrots

and avocado salsa

 

For Sunday Supper?

My husband’s roast

with squash, potatoes, carrots, and onions.

 

(hot pink geraniums)

 

I Am Thinking…

I need to re-read Hunger Games.

The movie premieres March 23rd.

I read the trilogy over a year ago.


A year ago to me,

at this point in life,

should be measured in dog years.


That was a long time ago,

that feels like yesterday.

Go figure.

I  Am Thankful For…  the independence that my three daughters possess.

Oh, I hover.

I offer; I  even suggest.

I am practicing my new response.


”You’re so smart. You’ll figure it out.”


I hope I get a chance to use that! 

 

I am creating….   


my spring wardrobe by shopping in my own closet

and adding some new white linen pieces.

I am reading….

my new Traditional Home magazine.

Yes, I admit it.

I love traditional design with a kick. 


Second true confession:

although I have painted things white for a gazillion years, I also love color.

I am going… to go outside now and do some fertilizing.

I am wearing… yard clothes… .
