Say it Saturday- A purple swing?" Why yes of course," said I.

This past Thursday I posted about lunch at a friend's house.

She allowed me to post some photos from her home and I have oodles of shots from her garden.

One is this purple swing.

I love purple and green.

Of course there is lots of green in this garden.

Trying to decide whether or not to paint our swing purple.

 
What do you think?

The grands would love it.

Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

By Jenny Joseph

�

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple

with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired

and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

and run my stick along the public railings

and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

and pick the flowers in other people's gardens

and learn to spit.

�

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

and eat three pounds of sausages at a go

or only bread and pickles for a week

and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

�

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

and pay our rent and not swear in the street

and set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
