Colour week - yellow





Julie's colour week continues - today is yellow and once again I cannot limit myself to a single photo. No sense denying my true nature! I posted recently on how yellow was my favourite colour as a child.



So much yellow around. Some of it subtle...



Some of it bold...



Some of it utilitarian...



The last two made me think of Lisa and Shari's word this week - routine.
I used to love visiting my Grandpa because he would give me all his piles of loose change and let me sort them into money bags (in the days when they were nice colours). This bag is my memento of him.

And the other photo? That's the scraper for the glass on my stove and the colander I use to sift the wood pellets to get any sawdust out of them, so the stove runs better. This needs done every day I use it and I have a love hate relationship with that routine. It's incredibly satisfying to get it done, but it makes fine black ash dust go everywhere.

Yellow look so great against blue. The first daffodil picture is amazing and I adore the yellow bird and everything else that seem to come with a story. Have a happy yellow day!
