Green Green Grass of Home

So verdant, like the Pacific Northwest USA

Green, brown & white - not the glaring modern hues + the blue of summer skies & my (explorer) Scott Home House colors, imprinted during my English boarding school years in the wilds of Surrey County & its uniforms after WWII; rubbing shoulders w/girls from all over the British Empire: Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong & beyond to Iceland, for one. Never occurred to the staff to ring out the bells for Kumbaya-ing so we only got to sit in front of a coal fire & nibble on parental gift boxes of rations sent from Harrods during once-a-term authorized midnight feasts sharing stories of where all we came from. Seemed very rare & far between w/many minor getogethers in bedrooms. Here too my tastes turned to abandoned (why did they every stop? 'Twas a great learning tool) school Victory Gardens in which I gleaned gloriously fresh veggies & fruit (instead of canned everything!) fed by a cement rain water catch system in which we could take cooling dips, swing from ivy & tree branches. So, yeah, these colors are indeed like coming on home. Many thanx flamingo91 Edited version#2
