Next Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day. The color green represents the holiday, so here are some of my favorites…

– the color of summer grass and the earthy green smell of it after it’s freshly cut

-a colorful mix of greens in a big salad..yes, I’m referencing Elaine Benes from Seinfeld…

-English seedless cucumbers for the salad, of course!

-Apple Jacks (they are kind of green..lol)

-my cat, Theo’s eyes

-peas (especially when they’re in my sister-in-law Pam’s summer staple side-dish, Pea Salad!) 

-avocados, because who doesn’t like good guacamole?

-big beautiful basil leaves straight from the plant

-a cold, icy green smoothie on a hot summer morning

-mint chocolate chip ice cream

-dill pickles

-a fresh, sharp green crayon straight from the box, because who doesn’t love that? 

-Peter Pan, because I’m a Disney nerd

-the actual box of Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies (I know the cookies are chocolate brown and delicious!)

-my phone case is neon green, and I love it because I can find it easily when I misplace it

-my youngest’s favorite color has always been green, so that’s a good reason to like it

Whatever your fancy, enjoy March 17!
