welcome to this week's list of likes
allergens are threatening to take us down this week, and I go to bed with stuffy sinuses and wake up with them even worse. I often hold my warm cup of coffee up to my forehead and along the tops of my cheek bones (between sips) and they start to drain quickly. Do you do that?

The conversation starter this week:
in honor of St Patrick's day, what is your favorite shade of green? do you have any clothes in that color? accents for the home like pillows, duvets, etc?

for years I have joked that lime green is my neutral in quilt making, and I love the brightness of it, even have a shirt that color, and a silk sweater
 |
| isn't the edge of that silk sweater pretty? |
Next I like turquoise or aqua, then a blue green forest green sort of color, and have a soft pendleton wool sweater that color. I wear aqua t shirts in the summer and they look great with a tan.
Where is my portable typewriter in turquoise, after 4 moves? it's M I A
I love this painting on foam core done for an art opening at my then boyfriend's gallery. They were going to throw it away!

| good greens in this! |
I love our two dark green loveseats. I got them at an estate sale at a mansion in Maryland. I love how they sit, how they look, and the lines of them. Both poodles also loved these sofas! Here is Cole... now I'm missing him and Milo again. Is it true it's better to have loved and lost than never to loved at all?
yes
Milo's memories
Milo was a sommelier in another life. When dh opened a bottle of wine, Milo dropped whatever he was doing, ran over on high alert, and barked as it popped! Then demanded to sniff the cork and give it a taste. (he generally approved of the wine)
He also was a big believer in no one bullying anyone, including the kitchen table. When it shifted out of place and dh would start to push it back, Milo again dropped everything to run over and bark his outrage at pushing a table around!
Sometimes when he saw a bath coming, read the signs like the Daddy putting on swim trunks in the dead of winter, he would run to my side and push against me, growling at the approaching Daddy,
"Mama, don't look now but growl with me to tell him we will not be pushed around like a table, or manhandled into the shower just to get nearly drowned. Growl mama! tell him! "
I would pet his curly stinky head, and get up from my chair, and walk with him up the stairs and into the bathroom in solidarity, a sort of Bataan Death march with much head hanging, and dragging of feet.
I love you Milo... always

Some fine greens there Lana. I read somewhere that human vision can distinguish more shades of green than any other animal. Green is clearly important to us as a species. I think I live all greens but favour warm green over blue/greens.
we love green... and we send potp and healing thoughts to you... yesterday we met people with two poodles at tiktok... I loved to watch them, but I cried for your beloved pup...
I like green but I can't wear it if it has too much yellow in it because it makes my skin look sallow. So only dark forest green for me! I love that final photo of dear Milo -- "gone but not forgotten" is the perfect caption for it!
You know I love all things green!
Yes - I also believe it's better to have loved those furry friends. I use pretty much every shade of green in my quilting. And I wear most any shade of green - except those leaning toward yellow. We've had a brown winter with also no snow at all, so I'm looking forward to the change to green outside, even though it will immediately trigger my allergies.
You have such great Milo stories!
