Green Green Green

May 3

I pull into a parking place and see this mosaic of green in front of my car. I am mesmerized. I get out and stand staring at the bright spring green of the leaves. They seem to stretch back forever into the depths.

I help my girls out of the car and they join me to admire the leaves. "Where does it go?" my (not for much longer) first grader says. I gaze deep into the bushes and trees and cannot find the source. "That's your favorite color Mommy," says my little one. "Yes, it is," I reply taking another moment to soak in the green green green.
