Might Need Sharpening
Driving home from my inlaws, we take winding country roads for the first leg of the trip. We put down the windows, and revel in the fresh air and the sunshine as we bump along. This time of the year, Louisiana is a wild, unruly tropic. The jungle of trees and grass and bushes and briars is interrupted only by the long, manicured fields of corn and cotton. There is so much life here, lush and nearly impassable at times. It always makes me think of the effort it must have taken to civilize and cultivate this land into a livable place. Quite a formidable task!
Anyway, Louisiana becomes transformed at this time of the year into a world of green. It is a spectacle, a wonderment- that was best summed up yesterday by Czarina as we drove down a shady, cannopied road.
"Mom, do you think God's favorite color is green?" She paused, thinking deeply before answering her own question. "I think it must be, because He used it everywhere!"
She's got a point.

Love this!! Makes me miss Mississippi...nothing like that amazing lush spring green that deepens as the months go by. You definitely don't get that in SA.

The way I remember it, Wrenn asked about green being Gods favorite color, but I was the one with the quip about him using it everwhere. Or maybe I pointed out that there was more blue sky than green grass. It may have been the benadryl talking.

Aw, honey. Please don't compete with your child over authorship of the cute sayings in our home. Not in public anyway.
