I'm going green, along with Kermit the frog, who went green a long time ago. Green is a fabulous color. My eyes are green, as are the eyes of one of my male children. Paper money appears in shades of green with various lines and forms added in an attempt to make it harder to print at home. I print many things at home, but I've never attempted to print money. Green surrounds us both inside and out. Leaves are green, as are my beloved Pelligreno bottles. Lettuce is available in shades of green, each with a unique flavor. Granny Smith apples are cleverly referred to as apple green. Asparagus, spinach and celery provide flavorful fiber as green vegetables. Grass is blue green. Last night's heavy frost has transformed the grass green surface into an icy green, not returning to spring green until the season's once again change and the sun moves closer to Chicagoland. Green also shows up in rainbows, which offer one continuous line of various shades of green, connecting one end of the earth to the pot of gold at the other.
There are quite a few songs with the color green in them, including "Green Eyed Lady," but an all time favorite features Kermit singing a Paul Williams original that answers the question, why are there so many songs about rainbows? Click, sing along, and go green with Kermit. You might even be able to answer the question. Quiz tomorrow. This one's for you, Jack.
