For the Love of Green

(and Jenna)

So. Tired.

I thought I was going to write a post for today’s #17DaysofGreen. That’s not happening. Well it is, since I’m typing this post right now but no, I thought I was going to write a real post. One that I thought about and put a lot of effort into. Or at least some effort. At just before 4pm, I found myself staring at my inbox. Just staring at it. Not reading it. Not thinking about answering anything in it. Just staring. Watching it load new email after new email. At that point, I realized I was not going to be writing that post after all. I don’t have any real words left in me.

So I took a break to fold laundry and clean the kitchen and eat dinner with the family and then I wandered around trying to think of something green to photograph. There’s lot of green stuff in the house but nothing grabbed me. I was all “meh” about everything. The only thing that remotely caught my interest was the dead green grinch toy Skeeter chewed up before Christmas. I feel like the Grinch, chewed up and spit out and crumpled on the damn floor.

Since words won’t work and photos won’t work but I committed to #17daysofgreen and I do love Jenna (I also own her, but that’s another story) I decided on something I could do. Something I’ve actually enjoyed this week. Something I hope you’ll click and enjoy.

Links of Green

* Look at this green tartan backdrop from Salty Pineapple. It’s beautiful. Really beautiful. And this simple idea for making your own backdrop is fabulous. Anybody could do this. I love that. And the green, isn’t it pretty?

* Isn’t the Pangolin beautiful?

* I’m a sucker for a beautiful door and this is one of the best I’ve seen recently, Brooklyn Green Door.

* This picture of KarenLynnn’s made me happy yesterday today. It actually made me happy again today, too. (See, today was so long, that I thought the flowers were yesterday. Sigh.) All of her pictures make me happy.

I hope you like these as much as I did.
