Kermit Or Bust

I know you are all waiting with baited breath (silly people) to hear all about our new little Lamb. He is doing fine and is up and at em this morning. Hubby and I have decided that he is getting enough from momma. We penned her in yesterday and probed her nipples to get the juices flowing, so to speak, and made sure that little Palmer had a good suck several times. We went out at 2 a.m. to make sure he was still o.k. and he was. His belly felt full and again this morning. Momma doesn't want him around much so they are in a very small pen and they are slowly getting to like each other. We will let them out later this morning and see how they do. If she is still off him then back into the pen they go. This will be the routine until I can be sure she is letting him suck. Jelly will definitely not be bred again.

Anyway on to other things. I have just finished the question for my level 2 homework that I enjoyed the most so far. I was given in class rovings in three primary colours. Our exercise was to produce a colour wheel with those colours with primary, secondary, and tertiary colours on it by blending the three primary colours that we were given. Here's mine:



I think it is really great the colours flow into each other very well and I was able to very closely match them to the colour wheel which I downloaded from the internet. Two of the matches were slightly off. But not much. The colours are distinct and bright and the whole exercise was a joy. Some people, however, think my green sucks! (you know who you are) They say my green is not a true green. Now what does that mean? I mean I've got Kermit colour there and I can't figure out how to get greener than that. Even Hubby and the Daughters agree that my greens are as green as can be.

I'm starting to feel paranoid. I've always had a good sense of colour and I thought my colour wheel was bang on. But apparently my ability to discern green is slightly off. Actually I've even gone around the house and compared my greens to plants and leaves of different shades and they are green.

So what is a gal to do? Should I tell my anti-green party that they are wrong or should I just glory in my self-righteous green-ness. Should I try for a more green green or should I just pack it in now and never blend green again. I don't know! (sigh) And I thought I was so perfect! (Do I sound like Miss Piggy?)
