 Have been thinking green and painting green.  One of my most favorite colors and so many lovely shades

I am Seeing Little Green Men!


I guess seeing little green men this time of year is OK...or at least I hope.  I am looking forward to corn beef!  But the only reason to have corn beef is for the Reuben Sandwiches!   I hope I am not the only one out there that loves these sandwiches.
Enjoy your day!
