I love putting purple and green together. Always have, for as long as I remember. I had a great skirt in high school, all paisley (it was in fashion!) and teals and purples. And as long as I can remember, people have told me that purple and green don't go together.

Yesterday, my husband and I were watching "CBS Sunday Morning" and there was a segment on the Ferrari. They said there is a two year waiting list because they are hand-made. They said you can choose the colors in just about anything you like, but they can overrule your decision if they feel it falls too far outside the Ferrari way. My husband looked right at me and said, "What colors do you want, babe?" I said "Dark green, with eggplant leather and dark green stitching." He thought they would tell me "No!" because green and purple don't go together.

Here are some photos I took yesterday in a park we discovered on Saturday - Monte Verde in Lakewood, CA.

Do you want to argue with Mother Nature about it?

Driving home from work today, I'm on one of those metered on-ramps that's two cars wide, one car per green per lane. There's a VW in front of me, and a white pickup behind me as we approach the ramp. White Pickup Guy honks, and my husband and I assume it's at VW Gal, since there is room for cars from our lane to move over to the left lane, and this is customary on this stretch of road. VW Gal must have thought so too, because she slowly made her way over to the left lane.
