February 14th 2005 and I'm
reading how in Iraq anyone caught wearing red on Valentines day can be in
deep trouble. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in the twilight zone or if what is
happening in this world is real or just all made up to fool old ladies
like me.
Just when for this whole
month I've been trying to think green and I have to now wonder if there is
something wrong with this color. Too bad if there is, I must say, because
I would be in total rebellion if
there was.
Oklahoma traditionally is
all yellow ochre, burnt sienna, browns or creamy tan. The colors, of
course, are the the brilliant sunsets of lavenders and oranges, those
cerulean blue skies and other muted dark blues of skies reflected in the
water which is held in small reservoirs. If there is an expanse of water
with somber foreboding blue, it holds our attention just until we can
tear our eyes away from the foreboding way of it.
It is at this time we seem
to be looking, searching and actively trying to obtain something alive and
tangible with the thought that we might be able to hold to the cognizance
of it.
Lest the wheatgrass I then
choose to plant in large pots be grown for something close to a hedonistic
purpose that is simply one for the eye and not the stomach I must confess
I'm guilty for loving green. It has to be told that the wheatgrass
doesn't come totally under this description. Actually I can shove a
handful of it into the blender with a cup of water, whirl it around for
two or three minutes and I will be rewarded with the most delightful rich
green color from the wheatgrass. This has a strong flavor but I can
conceal it in Lime jello or V-8 juice, if I don't use too much. The value
of it for its nutritional bonuses is worth this small deception.
The blender will not
totally grind the wheatgrass but, “who cares?” The fresh greens are an
excellent way to finish the colder months and possible upcoming spring
miseries.
Here is the Url where you
can buy the seed.
