Color Week Day 4/ Green

Oh green, how I love thee! As a city dweller, I have a deficit of green in my life so whenever I get a chance to see some green life, I take it. Green reminds me of my home in New England, and my husband's home in Oregon so overall, green feels comforting and lush, like a big hug.

I think green...
looks like:
the forest/ the jungle/ a garden abundant with vegetables/ lounging under a palm tree/ the wings of a dragonfly
smells like: a rainy day/freshly mowed grass/Christmas trees/mint
tastes like: a mojito/ lettuce picked from the garden
feels: lush/peaceful/soothing
sounds like: the wind rustling through trees/lying in bed listening to the rain
