357 shades of Green

I took the kids to the park today~
They needed haircuts
Haircuts led to Wendy's
Wendy's led to the park on a very windy day.

Happy meals blew every which way~
I hope I always remember River chasing the napkins in the wind
I so dig that he is not to cool to swing with his baby brother.

I sat on the grass and watched the trees~
It is a sport you know.  Watching Trees...
So very exhausting

I love knowing that soon all of the naked branches
will be dressed
with 357 shades of green.

Thats what mom said~
That there are 357 shades of green

There certainly isn't today~
But tomorrow...
Tomorrow the grey will take it's turn to rest.

It is time for color~

  1. What a great saying from your mom!! I miss her!

    Might I add that as a younger cousin in the bunch, I always looked up to you! I always thought that you working at the orphanage in Europe, and how you and Garrett worked on a cruise line was the coolest thing ever!! Cheesy but true! Glad you've still got your adventurous spunk about you!
