Rethinking Green

Clover seed pods -sometimes they would explode!

Green is...

Taste: clover seed pods, as kids we used to call pickles because the seed pod looked just like a little sour pickle. We used to nibble on these when the plants would spring up in the grass or in a crack in the concrete. It was also fun if they were a little ripe to give them a twist and watch them explode.

Touch: the kids think it's insulting to say "touch grass," but go ahead, especially the new, tender shoots.

Smell: a freshly mowed lawn.

Hear: a lawn mower on a summer night.

Hm, not so clever, am I. Blame it on the grass for being so green.
