Screamin’ Green Hosta

Screamin’ Green, now there’s a color name for you! I love my Screamin’ Green hosta in my garden! That’s not their official name of course, but maybe it should be! I have many varieties of hosta in my Woodland Garden, but the chartreuse ones really stand out and get huge! They really pack a punch in the garden, don’t you think?

Did you notice we have been doing the Crayola Colors in alphabetical order?

We’re getting nearer to the 120th Color and TODAY is National Crayon Day!

Screamin’ Green is a fluorescent color also known as Ultra Green and as Francis Scott Kiwi, the color for Maryland in the “State Crayon Collection.”

It’s Spring and time to think about new shoes!

I think every woman should own at least one pair of Scarlet shoes, don’t you? Nothing perks you up and makes you feel sexy than Scarlet shoes! Scarlet shoes can make even the plainest/dullest outfits come alive! I love my Scarlet shoes! I love all these shoes, especially, because they are good for traveling!

They are stylish, lightweight, versatile, and support your foot with those elastic, stretchy bands. If they get dirty (no way), but if they do, you throw them in the washing machine! Voila good as new!  Who knew they could make such a practical and stylish shoe? As you see I have different styles and colors for every adventure. There are oodles to select from! I buy them at the Charleston Shoe Company, in Charleston, South Carolina. You can order them online too, take a peek!

PS I don’t have nail fungus! It looks like I do, if you look close up at my feet in these pictures! I painted my toes a funky green for Easter! SB told me to Never use that color again! OK, OK, an experiment that did not work!

Scarlet was the name given to Torch Red in the 1998 Crayola Collection. It is also known as Shag Carpet Orange in the “Retro Colors” set. It is Chili Pepper Red, and the color for New Mexico in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Morning Breaking Over the Cherry Blossom Tree

Spring is my favorite season! I never said that until I lived in the South! In Spring, it is always so green here, it reminds me of Ireland! And then everyday there are new blooms!  The Cherry Blossom Tree, one of the first to burst into Spring, is filled with clusters of a tinted, pinky, salmony colored flowers! Enjoy!

Salmon has been part of the Crayola Collection since 1949. It is known as Cherry Blossom, the color for Washington, DC, in the “State Color Collection”.

I wish this was my front door! Or even my garden/potting shed door, if I had one! It is just so charming, romantic, girlish, and whimsical! Notice no lock either! And a bee house at the very tippy top! I hope that is a note from Peter Rabbit on the door inviting me to tea!

Definitely had to paint them in the Brushstoke and Waterlogue Apps!

Robin’s Egg Blue is one of my favorite colors! It was also known as Moonbeam Blue in the Discovery Series” and Birthday Bash Blue in the special “Colors of Binney & Smith.”

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Red Violet

Le Lapin Sauté, Quebec City, Canada

Le Lapin Sauté, Quebec City, Canada

For Easter weekend I think we should concentrate on all things rabbit, don’t you? One of my favorite restaurants in Quebec City, is Le Lapin Sauté, The Jumping Rabbit in old French, or the Cooked Rabbit in English! Not only does this restaurant have very tasty soups, entrées, and desserts (not all rabbit dishes, ha ha), the french bistro ambiance is so romantic! We never pass up an opportunity to eat here when we are Quebec City. You can’t miss it, located in the Quartier Petit Champlain area, as it is one of the most stylishly decorated spots in any season! Just look at all those Red Violet, painted pots which make the beautiful display at the entrance to Le Lapin Sauté! You may sit outdoors or in! For a look at the decorations of the restaurant in other seasons, and the inside of the restaurant, just look Here! Enjoy!

Red Violet is another oldie in the Crayola Collection, added in 1930. It is known as Ultra Violet in the “Techno Brite” series and Rock ‘n Roll Raspberry, the color for Ohio, in the “State Crayon Collection.”

IPhriday Photo Challenge: YOU r LOVED!

YOU r LOVED

YOU r LOVED

A couple of weeks ago, when I was out walking my dog, I saw the neighbor boys, I’d say around ten to twelve in age, hovering along on their boards. They said hey and I said hey and we went on our merry way.  Returning to my house, which is a little off the beaten path, I saw the boys scurrying around the corner of the way (I have a Way to my house you see) going to their house.  Heads down, no more waves.  Hmmmmm………

When I got to my door there was a note on it. YOU r LOVED.

My first reaction was, Did they just leave me a note?

Then I thought, Do they leave all old ladies a note?

Then I thought, Do they carry sticky notes and pens around with them when Hovering?

Then I thought,  Was the note a church project, or something like that?

Then I thought, I AM THINKING TOO MUCH! Simply enjoy the Note! YOU R LOVED!  I saved the note. I think a lot of people could use the note this week! I think many of us need the message on Good Friday! Thank You!

PS If the boys didn’t leave the note, then I have a secret admirer, and that’s a good thing for an old lady too! It’s good to let your husband know somebody else loves you too!

Enjoy the IPhriday Photo Challenge! Post a photo taken with your Phone on Fridays! It is great fun getting outside to see what is going on!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Razzle Dazzle Rose

Razzle Dazzle de Rose

 

For my photo choice I’ve given Razzle Dazzle more flair by giving the roses a french touch, naming it Razzle Dazzle de Rose. These were more of the beautiful flowers seen on my English Garden Tour, 2015.  Did I tell you I received the book, Gardens to Visit 2016, from the National Garden Scheme? I am in the throws of planning my visit this summer to gardens in Cornwall, Devon, Sussex and Kent, oh my!

Razzle Dazzle Rose is the fluorescent color originally known as Hot Magenta from 1972 to 1990. In the “Discovery Series” it was known as Blast Off.
