Limes.... Easy, Elegant and Everyday

 This time of year,it seems like the words
 “light” and “colorful” permeate our vocabulary.

Fresh Limes in Spring Bouquet




"Green is the prime color of the world and that from which
it's loveliness arises."
~Pedri Calderib de la Barca

"For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider,
every Green tree is far more glorious than if it were
made of gold and silver."
~Martin Luther

"Green is my favorite color.
It's my favorite color because it's the
color of my husband's eyes."
~Estelle
