Shades of Green

There are many different shades of green and I like using variations of green in my garden. This is variegated yucca. I hope it blooms this year. It get's a tall stalk of white flowers from the center when it does.

This is Japanese golden forest grass. It looked a bit peak-id yesterday when I got home. I hope it can survive in this spot. Perhaps it needs more shade.

 This is a garden phlox and I confess I can't remember which one; will have to look it up.

I'm sure you've heard of spinach and artichoke dip. This is collard greens and artichoke dip. I get a can of greens and a can of artichoke hearts and drain them well. I then squeeze the greens in my hand to get even more moisture out of them. Then I chop both up and I mix in two heaping tablespoons of sour cream and some hot sauce. It's really good. I get the collard greens because they have the most vitamins of any of the canned greens.

I buy these Food Should Taste Good gluten free chips for my dips. Gary doesn't like olives and he likes them. Try them if you can find them; you might like them too.

Lots of folks admire my muses (perhaps totems) but I think some don't know what to do with them. They are for reflecting upon like my meditation bowls. Being in Baptist country perhaps I should call them prayer bowls. I guess I'm a little bit outside the box in what I make with clay.

I did make some green at the farmer's market yesterday. I sold a set of dinner plates, a pair of wall tiles, another wall tile, and a tea bowl and maybe a few other items I can't remember. It's exhausting getting up so early (4:30 am) and being out of doors till 1 pm and then packing up. I'm lucky I have Gary to help me I don't think I could do it all by myself. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
