Spring green

"Happiness? The color of it must be spring green..."
Frances Mayes
"Momma, your favorite color is green, right?" asks my daughter as we pop sunflower seeds into the ground. "Yes, baby it is," I say.

"Why?" she presses.

Before I can respond: "It's because green makes you happy?" she decides.

And, then: "Momma, you really can never have too many sunflowers. They have lots of green."

Agreed! Andyellow, too, is good!

Look, and look again.
This world is not just a little thrill for the eyes...
You have this day, and maybe another, and maybe
still another...
