Hey! George Washington and I have something in common!

Green is our favorite color!

I have been thinking about my turn as the 'theme selector'(it is a serious role!)
for some time
and...
I have finally decided that the theme for challenge #6 is...

In preparation for this post,
my research has made me realize that green is quite a versatile word!!!!

According to Dictionary.com, the  word, green, can be:

1.  a noun, 'a color intermediate in the spectrum between yellow and blue.'

2.  an adjective, 'not perfectly developed or perfected in growth or condition; fresh, new', 

 or 

3. a verb, 'to restore the vitality of'!

The word, Green, is used in may phrases/idioms/words, such as...

green with envy

green around the gills

greenback

green thumb

(...I could go on all day!!!)

How about a plate of green eggs and ham?!



There is even a city named Green in Ohio! Cool, huh?

There is wonderful website I found while researching my challenge theme

and it has a wealth of information about how the color affects us physically, 

as well as the cultural/religious/political associations of green.
You might find some inspiration there!

Kermit the Frog, long known for his color, confides that it is not easy being green...

Even so,
it has become more popular to "Go Green." It is a term used to describe the process of changing one's lifestyle for the safety and benefit of the environment. According to eHow.com there are 3 changes most people make to "go green." They begin sustainable living, use environmentally friendly (or green) products, and they begin recycling and/or reusing as many products as possible.

As I look at the calendar for May, 

the weekend of May 19th is really, really not a good time for me.

I will be in costume-chair-for-the-spring-dance-performance overdrive!!!

So, in order to maintain my sanity and ensure that I, too, will be done on time,

I am going to give the green light (ha, Icouldn't resist!) for

challenge #6 reveal date to be: May 27th!
