Here are the next installments of my 52 Week Project: 52 Weeks of Blue. I think that these may show you that I’m have
had some moments of desperation with this, but I’ve managed to get something
every week. Look around the next time
you’re outside and tell me why, except for the sky (which I hope is blue where
you are), there are so few blue things in nature. Clearly, if I had been given the box of crayons when
the world came into existence, there would be way more blue out there, particularly of the Robin's Egg variety. But too late for that now.
Week 26:
Woohoo! Halfway through! I deserve a Blue Ribbon for that!
Week 27: For Mother’s Day this year, my daughter Carrie gave me a set of origami Peace Cranes that she folded. I tried to take their photos on a
number of occasions and finally came up with one I could live with. I love these Peace Cranes that she brings
around now and then. They make me happy
and hopeful.
Week 28:
Truly a week of blue desperation. I
save the fortunes from the cookies when we go out to Dynasty, which is our
favorite Chinese restaurant around here.
They sit in my wallet. I find the
fortunes to be pretty funny in general and picked the one in the picture
because, on that particular day, it made the most sense of the ones I was carting around.
One of the ones I rejected said, “Anything you do, do it well. The last thing you want is to be sorry for
what you didn’t do.”
I'm thinking that maybe it should have said, "If you're going to do something, do it. The last thing you want is to be sorry for what you didn't do."
Or maybe it should have said, "Any thing you do, do it well. The last thing you want is to be sorry for doing a shirty job."
Those original sentences seem to be disconnected to me. They should have separated
them and saved the second sentence for a different cookie.
Of course, if you're one of those people who automatically add the words "IN BED" after your fortune, then they all make sense, but most especially in the third case.
What the heck! It’s all for fun, isn’t it?
...IN BED.
Week 29:
Greg and I went out for a quick lunch at Applebee’s that week and I was
saved by this vehicle in the parking lot. Thank goodness it was blue! What a contraption! It’s a motor scooter
with a car-like body on it. I picked the
first photo for my project, but will put up another one here so you can see the
inside of this buggy. It's actually a better photo anyhow. In any case, this buggy is kind of cool!
Week 30:
had me seeing yellow, because that was the week we went down to
Griswold, Connecticut to see the sunflowers, but on the way down to Buttonwood Farm we stopped at Sweet Evalina’s
Stand in Woodstock for lunch. They have this neat old retro sign on their building and I decided
to pick out the blue elements of it and do some selective coloring. I’ll post it both ways.
So in closing: Anything you do this weekend, do it well. The last thing you want is to have a blue weekend...IN BED.
