Day #52: one more color left...

So Today is green.... On Friday my guy always brings home a big cardboard box with veggies & fruits. He works at a natural/ biological foods & non-foods warehouse. They only sell products and food without any use of chemicals and things like that. So none of the veggies or fruits are sprayed with anything...it's all natural! He brought home these green peppers and the colors were so pretty I had to make these the photo for Today... Now some facts about GREEN: -1. Green is the color wich can describe someone who is inexperienced, jealous, or sick. -2. The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, “to grow”. It is used to describe plants or the ocean. -3. In America, green is a slang term for money. -4. Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content. -5. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, it is associated with death, sickness, envy or the devil. The most common associations, however, are found in its ties to nature. -6. There are lots of times of the color green like: Lime, Mint cream, Olive, Sea green, pine green, Emerald, Jade, and like 20 more....

Today was a colorful day, as it was the day of the Carnaval parade here in my home town. Carnaval is a huge festive season, the main events are usually during January and February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations. It is truly so much fun seeing all those happy, sometimes early-in-the- day drunk people... LOL. It takes months for those party people to built their wagons and some are really awsome. I must say there weren't a lot of outstanding cars this year, but we did had fun watching them and their loud music pass us by. Here are a few of the big cars, oh yeah they are all pulled by a tractor.... The cars all represent a theme, a lot of cars had the crisis/ recession theme...cause that's also a big issue over here. This yellow one had the lottery theme. Lotto is a game wich is played daily by those people who like to gamble a little. The next one are dancing wooden puppets... Also some of the cars use monkey... since our city is also know as the 'monkey city' amongst people who celebrate carnaval. In front of the parade there's always this big gorilla. These guys on their boat were really too funny!!Then last but certainly not least... My colleagues' little boy Dean. My colleagues' DH plays in this street band and well this was the first time Dean went along with the parade. He turns 2 in May and this looked so cute... This little boy and his fake little trumpet walking in between all those grown-ups and doing his own little thing... He was walking, playing his trumpet and dancing to the music at the same time, without even looking up. He was there, like he was there all by himself... Isn't he the cutest??

See you all tomorrow after we stand at this flea market all day looooong!!! I hope we can keep up...LOL. We just have tons of boxes with things we never use anymore and since we don't have garage sales over here, I thought let's go to this indoor flea market and try to sell some of our old stuff. We'll see how it goes! :) Hugs!
