The Ides of March, True Confessions Day, Buzzard's Day, Everything You Think Is Wrong Day, American Legion founded 1919, Escalator patented 1892, Andrew Jackson born 1767, Brutus Day, World Consumer Rights Day, Dumbstruck Day, Admission Day (Maine, USA), Constitution Day (Belarus), Companies That Care Day, National Pasta Days (15th & 16th) and Absolutely Incredible Kid Day.
You see what I mean.
I decided to just go with the prompts. Magpie Tales featured another glorious photograph by Tess Kincaid, Carry On Tuesday employed the quote, "I could be a millionaire if I had the money," and Cloaked Monk's March Challenge (in honor of Absolutely Incredibly Kid Day) wanted writers to ponder 'childhood.'
So...let's go green!
‘Green’ Home Improvements I
Decorating News:
Yes, green is the new purple.
Get your shamrock on!

‘Green’ Home Improvements II
If I had the funds
I’d redecorate with green…
… color of money.
###
And speaking of getting your green on…
Dirt brown and grass green
are the colors of outdoors
and most kids’ play clothes.

Some days are like that... so much to write about. Where will the muse take us? I like where she took you. That last haiku? Story of every mother's life! Well done!
ReplyDeleteloved all three, the second one was super cute and the third one reminded me of my childhood days. :)
ReplyDeletetrisha
i am greeny
ReplyDeleteBut you forgot the best day - 16th is my birthday! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove your home improvement tips!
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on this prompt!
ReplyDeletecoloured perspective
Kim - thanks. Yeah, that was me - and now it's my kidlets! LOL
ReplyDeleteTrisha - thanks!
ReplyDeletedidta7 - ummm? Good?
ReplyDeleteJinksy - not forgetting! Will do the b-day wishes tomorrow (on the 16th.) Never fear!
ReplyDeleteBirthdays are always a good thing, in my book. It means you've been with us for another year, you still have stuff to look forward to - and yes, you have beaten the system for another year, too!
hehe
earlybird - thanks! Most of the real work I leave to my husband, however. Well...someone's got to supervise, right? ha!
ReplyDeleteGautami - thank you for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteGreen birthday cakes with green icing and a green tongue! That is how I spent the first seven or eight birthdays! I think I will have cheesecake this year and skip the green :)
ReplyDeleteKristen - Cheesecake always works well! The pub near where I live, where we're going for St. Patrick's Day, has the most delectable Bailey's Irish Creme cheesecake. Worth it for the trip alone. Yummy!
ReplyDelete(And Happy Birthday!!!)
Not at all sure if my kids qualify for Incredible Kids Day, but their clothes are definately green, muddy and holey!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all three. So funny. A+++
the many shades of green, the best the natural kind once you have enough green stuff (money) to get by!
ReplyDeleteAch! Too good ;-)
ReplyDeleteElaine - LOL! Yep - if there's a 'dirt', the kids will find it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJanice - thanks! ♥
ReplyDelete120 Socks - yeah...sigh...if I only had a bit o' the green (cash, that is!) ☼
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of these, but most of all the last one. As a mother of three boys (all grown now) I remember the green and brown very well. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria! Ah...the life of a mom!
ReplyDeleteLove all three, they made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThree for the price of one (day); can't be bad.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the energy of these!
ReplyDeleteWhile we're at it ... let's root for Notre Dame to win the NCAA title! Go Green!
ReplyDeleteTwo days for Pasta...only fitting!!
ReplyDeleteThe whole prompt..lots of fun!!
I love that last one! So true!
ReplyDeleteI love "Green is the new purple." Happy St. Patricks Day to you!
ReplyDeleteRJ, I love your various takes on the REAL green... especially ground into the jeans of little kids!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smiles! Amy
