Day 113 - Spring break

With spring sunshine and April showers comes the seasonal ritual of mowing the rapidly growing grass. Having finished the front yard, the 'gardener' (aka Lew) took a break before continuing the job in the back.

Day 82 - Odd sightings

Unable to decide on which photo to use today, I decided on both...

Usually around this time of year, we see a lot of Easter bunnies. Frederick, however, celebrates their own way... betcha don't see too many Easter bears where you live!! ;) This dapper dude, in all his sartorial splendor, welcomes you at the Frederick Fudge and Ice Cream Co.

I'm betting not too many of us have green claw-footed bathtubs full of greenery sitting outside our front doors either! This one adorns the sidewalk in front of an antique/garden shop.

Day 81 - Green time

Feeling less than inspired and needing to stick around the house waiting for a package, this is all the green I mustered up today. Not much of a story here, just one of those mundane objects included in my day-to-day doings.

Day 80 - A Patch of Green

On this first day of spring, we went for a drive on an old country road and discovered a creek running alongside. As we stopped to take a few photos, I spotted this bright green mossy rock just begging to be my subject for the day. :)

I also have a couple of Easter-related photos on my regular blog.

Day 79 - Green writers

It's rainy, cold, and dismal outside so I decided to scrounge around inside for something green. Since I'm not particularly fond of the color except in nature, I didn't think I'd find much, but it's amazing what we see when we really start looking. This beribboned pen (a thank-you gift from a scrapping supplier) and pencil were right under my nose, in the pencil cup on my desk.

Day 78 - Green Pepper

Not quite what I had in mind when I tried to duplicate an idea I saw in Flickr, but it was fun playing in the water. Afterwards, it ended up tossed with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, S&P, parmesan, and other veggies, and roasted for our dinner. Good stuff!

Day 77 - Green, green grass of home...

First things first - wishing you all a most Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

May your day be touched

by a bit of Irish luck,
brightened by a song in your heart,
and warmed by the smiles
of the people you love.

Alrighty then, on to today's photo. The greening of the fields behind our home has been calling to me so I was tickeld to see green would be this week's theme. (Somehow I just knew it would be, Karin - probably because I'm Irish myself!) ;)

Day #236 - Green grass in August???

Amazingly, the grass isn't brown and crunchy yet, an unusual occurence around these parts this time of year. A few well-timed thunderstorms in the past month or so have rewarded us with the green stuff.

Day #120 - Lush succulence...

One of several sedums we planted a couple of years ago to fill in some bare spots. They're definitely doing what we intended - spreading like crazy and coming back healthier and greener each year. A nice, low maintenance plant, this one gets pretty, little yellow flowers later in the season.
