Blue Is For the Bluebirds

What are you doing? I asked the little girl of three. I am colorizing the flowers, she promptly told me. And staying in the lines I said, immediately amazed! Watching her paint posies yellow where cows grazed. You can paint the red ones, she said, knowing me. I was as tickled and thrilled as any grandma could be. I sat right down and picked up a paint brush too. But I wanted a different color, so I chose blue. Those are for the birds! My granddaughter said. Blue flowers are rare, because she has an artistic head. I begged her, just for today can we have just a few …. Flowers in the meadow that are a brilliant blue?
