Shades of Green, Gabriola Island

green   1. of the color of growing grass  2. overspread with green plants or foliage   
3. inexperienced or naive  4. not dried or seasoned 

At this time of year the eye can see more shades of green than any other color.  It seems that everything is green in nature right now.  Emerald green, forest green, grass green, moss green, pine-green, hunter-green, sage, sea green, jade green.  Then we have aquamarine, bottle-green, apple-green, Beryl, Bronze-green, celery, chartreuse, kelly, lime, malachite, olive green, pea green, spinach green, verdant, and verdigris.

We are told that it is the season to make sure that we have got in enough firewood to last the coming colder season.  The trees that we have cut down from our lot are too green to burn this year and so Geo loosely piles the pieces so that they will season.


We need to purchase seasoned wood to burn this year.  George has stacked two chords of wood now that is seasoned.
