Who I became today.

As I've written about before, I have a weakness for haircolor. Why? I don't know exactly. I do know there is something in me that I can't seem to express without "becoming a different person". There ya go. Hair dye is method acting for the soul.

So what color am I now? What was I? Who am I with this hair color?

It's black. Temporary, so it will probably fade badly, but I could stand going permanent. Not with black, and not just because it is so hard to get lighter. I can't stand it because it is a hard color to live with on a daily basis.

My hair has been blue-black, Ronald McDonald red, blue, green, orange, and my favorite- grey. Now, with all this coloring, you would think I am afraid of going grey. I'm not. I'm really looking forward to it. I think grey hair on a young face looks really dignified.

Now, I know that under the aspen trees is not the best possible place for that plant. That is why we bought a bale of bog peat and gave a special rhododendron fertilizer to all of them. If it is true that the dead leaves of aspens make the soil limy, we will be in trouble.
