I LIKE Thursday. 3-13-25

 

I follow Sweatpants and Coffee on Facebook and she posted this meme from Mona Lisa Nyman. I like it!

I visited the office where I used to work. I help them out occasionally when the owner and the other signer are both gone at the same time. Anyway, a couple of AP checks needed to be signed, so I dropped in.  In 2010 we moved into this office space. It has wrap around windows in the corner of the 7 story building. I brought a golden Pothos from our former office, to live in the office of the boss, the owner. 

This is what that one small plant has become. Some of the leaves are bigger than my hand!

The weather has warmed up quite a lot. Should be near 60°  today, Wednesday. And some sun.  Come on Spring. 

 I made cookies for the neighbor who cleared our driveway and walks last weekend. I didn’t get a photo, but think Preppy Kitchen’s Peanut Butter Cookies.  There were more than the 18 it was supposed to make. So we got to have a few too! Yummy. 

LeeAnna asks:

in honor of St Patrick's day, what is your favorite shade of green? do you have any clothes in that color? accents for the home like pillows, duvets, etc?

Oh gosh! I like all greens. 

I wear dark forest green in the winter. I have a long sleeved t-shirt that I wear underneath a fleece vest. It’s more forest green than this photo shows. 

I wear light green and lime green in summer. I have several green shirts and 2 pair of light olive green capris. 

Our living room is painted 2 shades of sage green. 

Our bedroom has a dark green accent wall. It’s called Bayberry. 

My sewing room is a different sage green! Yup! I like green. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful. 

I LIKE Thursday. - Colors in Your Life.

I'm joining LeeAnna and friends at Not Afraid of Color to talk about things we like and also the prompt for this week. It's  COLORS!

Entertainment. 

Mr Busy and I are still watching Suits, when we both sit still!  Our DD, DS, and the two of us have one more episode of Andor to watch together. Then we will have to wait for 1923 to come back from “winter break”

I really want to see A Man Called Otto, starring Tom Hanks. It is based on a book titled, A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. It was a great book. 

I finished reading this very thought provoking and wonderful story. I highly recommend it! 

Nothing wonderful happening in the kitchen lately. I did use some leftover turkey from the freezer to make turkey rice and vegetable soup. DD caught a cold, or RSV or some upper respiratory thing!  The soup was good and she's better now. Not saying the soup did it, but it sure didn't hurt!!!  hahaha!

Prompt from LeeAnna :   she wrote...

"what are your favorite colors? Do you wear them or decorate with them? Is there a specific color your family would say is your favorite? has it changed in the last few years? Is it influenced by the seasons? Did your color favorites change when you moved, for instance I grew to accept earth tones after moving to Colorado. I grew up in Florida and still like saturated colors. I think the quality of sunlight affects how you perceive color. I remember moving from Florida to the Washington DC area and feeling like a displaced peacock. More muted colors were worn in the midatlantic."

My answer:

I like most fall colors in decor. Our living room has sage green walls, cognac brown furniture. Mostly.   My sewing room is pale sage with purple accents. Our master bedroom is a buttery gold with one accent wall in Avocado I have a very colorful quilt on our bed.  We've lived in our house since 1988, it is small and cozy. 

I used to wear lots of  golds, greens, browns, rusty reds. But since I’ve gone gray, though most think I’m blonde, I can wear brighter more intense colors. Turquoise, plum, tomato red, charcoal . I still say my favorite color is green. Lime, spring, sage, forest, avocado even army green, and I like aqua and turquoise in the summer. 

I truly like all colors. I can’t honestly say that there is one I hate!  But I don't really care for Mauve!  I'm sorta over mauve and country blue!

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
