nature’s color

today is beyond dreary.
when the grey and white world looks like this…
and the mountains can’t be seen through the smog and fog ….there is nothing left to do but
drive 3 little tots to the store
to pick out some colorful healthy foods.
We bought broccoli, zucchini, baby peppers, carrots, cucumbers,
lettuce, spinach, celery, tomatoes, strawberries, apples, bananas …
yum …

and then there is nothing else left to do but
come home and eat fresh peppers,
strawberries, grilled cheese …
and watch backyardigans during quiet time.
Because Backyardigans has cheerful music.

p.s. i also bought this…

which completely negates any of the healthy foods we bought.
but buying it once a year might be okay. maybe.

p.p.s. it was definitely a dreary day miracle
because the kids were beyond good at the grocery store.
truly a miracle that needs to be noted.
