Blue Inside, Green Outside

Blue glass on the windowsill.

Green elephant ears growing outside.

They're the colors of summer; green leaves, blue water. It's times like this that I remember to be thankful. I'm thankful for sunlight until 9:00, skirts & flip flops, and long walks by the lake. I'm thankful for breezes in the pine trees, lightening bugs, and the smell of basil and rosemary on the back patio. Thankful.

* I appreciate all your concern yesterday about the 'cleanliness' of my stray chair. You'll be relieved to know that I used an entire lint roller, along with a thorough session with the vacuum cleaner, not to mention two spray-downs with bathroom anti-bacterial spray. I figure if it's powerful enough to disinfect a toilet, it should work on a chair. In the spirit of that little creepy lady from Poltergeist, "This chair is clean."
