I Know Green Is A Color

I am not complaining.  Really.   Rain is great.  Ask drought riddled California about rain and how terrific it is.

But here in the Middle West,  we are working our way into summer and green has taken over and our yard and garden could be mistaken for a jungle.  Rain daily.   I need color.  The buds are here.  Now. Just. A. Little. Sun. Please.

I know all the design magazines and that 25 pound pile of Restoration Hardware catalogs show gray and beige and brown and beige and cream and Very Seldom Any Color.  Here in our world,  in The Green Envelope as we fondly call our yard, I am ready for the bursting forth of color. Even our beloved  New Mexico desert towns and museums  have bold  color right now-inside and outside.

Even our own light summer antique inventory--infused with color.

Even the petite but special Saint Charles Farmer's Market on Fridays has color...as evidenced by blue sweet peas, micro greens, Illinois  red strawberries and warm yellow lemon scones.

Patience Lady Antique Dealer.  Patience.
