we are only the second owners, having purchased the house from the couple who built it in 1950. we think it was originally a white house with green shutters and door. when we moved in, the owners had adopted a beige/blue combination...and i have been desperately reintroducing green (or, really, anything but blue!) anywhere and everywhere as quickly as i can.
and it was finally time for a new roof.
lo-and-behold, we discovered the original roof was green!
hidden under sun-bleached brown tiles,
was a lovely moss green.
well.....
we didn't go with green.
that's a pretty big commitment
to live with
for thirty years.
weathered wood
not black
not gray
not green
not brown

can't quite put a finger
on the color,
but it is
just right.
just in time
to re-paint the shutters this summer.
green, of course.
p.s. the birds are glad the roofers are gone.
(& this proves i can write a blog post
on just about anything.)
