Color

If you live within 50 miles or so of our little yellow house, you know it's been months and months since we've really been able to get out and do much.  Since December, it has been white on white out there with only the occasional dog-pee-yellow and car-exhaust-grey snow to break up the monochrome landscape.  

Within the last week or two, we've had a few really nice days, causing the snow to melt slowly.  We're just beginning to see the shades of mud that will prevail until our flora wakes up to provide some much appreciated color. 

That said, I can't wait any longer.  After months and months of looking at the same thing, sometimes a gal needs a change.  

Last week, I had my eyes checked and ordered my new glasses.  This week I picked 'em up and decided to use some birthday money to add a little color of my own to the world. 

Here's the first pair of glasses, though the hair color doesn't translate super well in this photo:

And here's the second pair with a better view of my newly coppered locks. 

Here's hoping we don't have to wait much longer for some natural color around here.  I don't know about you, but this gal can't wait to get her feet and wheels back on the trails...and finally get some good old-fashioned garden dirt under her fingernails again.
