Yellow Makes Me Happy

When I moved into my current abode 10 years ago, I painted every wall in every room yellow. Very pale yellow, and all kinds of different shades. Yellow makes me happy. I feel like I am living in eternal spring, my favorite season. I love yellow.

William talks about "lellow" frequently, and seemingly for no reason other than he loves it. He would wear his yellow robot shirt every day for the rest of his life if that were possible. His Hot Wheels are the greatest toy ever invented, but the yellow ones trump all. He is a compulsive dandelion picker, and seems to consider them the greatest gift he can give me. He won't let me check to see if he likes butter.

August Break: Grass Head, Pottersville Bridge

Will and I have been walking the path at Pottersville Bridge. It is so beautiful, full of butterflies and enormous monster weeds and wildflowers. The only sounds are of cicadas and grasshoppers and birds. He got tired of me taking pictures of everything; there was just so much beauty!

Yellow State of Mind

Spring has sprung! I know that we have said it and said it again; after our long, endless winter (which did end!) we are so amazed that spring exists we can't stop proclaiming it.

I don't know about you, but I have been in a yellow state of mind. The color of my favorite spring flower, the jonquil, yellow just keeps me in a spring sort of mind. And looking at it makes me feel warm and happy. Isn't it amazing the power that colors have over us?

Who wouldn't love to run through a field of sunny flowers?

Here's the jonquils!

And while you're feeling sunny, visit this totally sublime post.
