Tie Dye

I look at blogs lately.  I go to my friends' and check them out.  I don't just read them, but I look at the design.  I try to get ideas of what a blog is supposed to be like.  I let Lucy read one of my benign posts the other day and she asked about the tie dye.  I was surprised.

I thought she would know immediately why I had tie dye in the design.  I thought she would know it wouldn't be one of my first style choices. 

Ian loves tie dye.  The brighter the better.  That was always his favorite booth when we walked through a craft fair.  He had this one tie dye shirt--a really bright, good one.  It didn't have a tag in it.  I finally had to take a sharpie and write "BACK" on the ribbing on the back of the neck, because every time he put it on, it was backwards.  I think it might be one of the shirts that's still hanging in his closet--there are a few I couldn't pack up.

He loves everything bright and wild.  Plaid Bermuda shorts.  Converse sneakers with flames.  Hawaiian shirts of all colors. Bright red or zebra print glasses.   I can't see him dressed in all white.  It doesn't seem right.  Oh, he's good enough--pure enough, but much too colorful.

That's why there's tie dye on my blog.
