Expanding my palette

We had a break in the rain today, so I spent all morning and most of the afternoon outside doing yard work, taking photos, and just hanging out with the dog. While loitering on the deck, I happened to notice the new growth on the tips of the willow tree—an arresting peachy pink color that looks so pretty next to that leafy green I decided I need to use those two colors together in something sometime soon. I've never liked pink or green. So putting the two together is quite a reach for me! It always reminds me of childhood shopping trips where Mom would persistently pick out pink and green plaid skirts and pants for me, and I would relentlessly retch and refuse to even try them on. And now I'm liking pink and green together?!? I must be getting old.

See? There are some good things about getting old. Cheers from one who's even older.
