chartreuse

it was extra green out today
and so warm i actually had a little sweat
things have been budding up and blooming for weeks
but so far the trees have been a little tentative
well.....
they're really going for it now

i was driving to the co-op to buy some fish for dinner*
bumpin' along to my spring 2006 graduation soundtrack**
and by golly it's spring!
it was nice to roll all the windows down
and cruise through the neighborhood
soaking in all the many and various shades of green
the leafy is starting make everything all dappled and shady
it sure is pretty 'round here when it wants to be
