Original post: April 9, 2021. Edited. Reposting again today on this beautiful, rainy spring day.
My dad listened to Rod McKuen a lot when I was growing up so I became fond of him as well. I have a Rod McKuen playlist on my phone but I don’t believe that many people in my world would care to listen to him. He is from another time and place, and rather unique. My favorite song of his is called Blessings in Shades of Green.
Today the song comes to mind as I notice all the beautiful signs of spring.
Most of these pictures were taken at my previous home. There are so many shades of green, and some with brilliant colors attached, like purples and yellows. And even white…if you appreciate dandelions like I do. Nature is such a gift.
As I write, I think of other shades of green that I consider to be blessings in my life. And right away I think of the eyes of two of my daughters. With six children, we have a variety of eye color. All beautiful. Today, though, we are focusing on beautiful shades of green.
Blessings in shades of green. What a lovely, happy color.
My favorite color of spring.

I never realized that they had green eyes. How little we pay attention to in life. And what we may never truly appreciate.
