March Color of the Month: Green

Maybe I should have chosen brown. Nonetheless, bring on the 31-day challenge to feature the color green!

“By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again." - Neil Gaiman

January was blue , February was rosy , and as much as I would like March to be green, it just isn’t very verdant in Wisconsin these days. Happily, it was already spring in Paris while I was there a few weeks ago. So enjoy this lovely month, also known as février.
