Green Day

Green is the color of joy, hope and youth. It symbolizes spring and new life. It can be very calming (think hospital walls) or the color of a fiesta (like lime green with red and yellow). I don't think about the negative connotation of green very often, but there is the green eyed monster (jealousy) and sickness (turning green).

It is surprising how much green is in my home.

This photo includes my Elizabeth Arden "Green Tea" Scent Spray and my funky Caribbean amber earrings - I love their pale yellow green color.

This is a Johnson Brothers teapot from England. I like the different shape of the spout and lid.

This vintage teapot looks somewhat blue in the picture, but it is really a pale minty green.

I guess it's no surprise just how many of the books in my tea library featured green.

This was a pretty window that I photographed while walking around in Charleston, SC. There are so many gorgeous gardens there.

Here is another block from my first quilt. Two of the nine blocks in the quilt are green.

Maybe I'll get back on track with my walking program and enjoy all the lovely shades of green in the neighborhood.
