Yellow is just not your color, Momma always told me.
It wasn’t that she was being rude. She was only trying to save me from looking washed out and jaundiced.
None of the Tate girls can wear yellow, she said. It clashes with our mousy hair and freckly skin.
The color of summer sunshine, yellow is lemony fresh clean. I’m all about clean…
My kitchen is painted happy yellow. Sweet broom and yellow bearded iris fill my flower beds. Yet rarely do I wear the color…
As was typical in our family, Daddy never got the memo about our yellow problem. During his mid-life crisis, before I was even old enough to drive, he bought me my first car.
A could-it-be-any-brighter(?) YELLOW corvette.
Oh the irony.

Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you, and everything you do. They were all yellow. —Coldplay, Yellow.

Your parents crack me up! Yellow is my favorite color!
haha thank you!
And really, you have no idea:))
I love this one! Yellow is my favorite color. I hate to admit it, but deep down I always envied you Yellow Jackets. I thought it was much more exciting than our orange and black Bulldogs!
Ooohhh a Wilson confession! Seems to me you lived as close to Keiser as Wilson? Maybe you went to the wrong school!
I love yellow. such a happy, bright color. It’s not “my color” either but I try to sneak it in 🙂
🙂
Yellow wasn’t my color either–it turned me red! Nor lilac. Still don’t wear yellow but have graduated to orange. And purple seems to be a good color now. No yellow flowers, either, except in the shower curtain! xoxo
How do you not have yellow flowers??? interesting.
It is a happy color, but for what ever reason I just don’t have a lot of it around me.

I love yellow, too. Such a fun happy sunlight kind of colour. With so many shades, I’m sure you could wear a certain shade of yellow. It’s not really my colour either but certain shades are okay. What fun about your dad and the car that he bought “For his daughter.” Reminds me of the hubs buying me jazz CDs of groups that he likes.
No, really I can’t.
Yes, I wondered who your Dad bought that car for too!
Could have done with seeing that picture before I drew mine.. Funny that we both had Yellow cars in our posts today. Wonder how many others did too.
And then there was Z….
I know! What a coincidence:))) I have my Z ready – do you?
I loved, loved this one. The poem was so good. You know, Thomas missed a lot of memos, but he was always working so hard. “Someone in that family had to work.”
So true. And work he did.
I love yellow! The color, and the Coldplay album! My kitchen is yellow too… it reminds me of sunshine and spring and happiness.
I quit wearing yellow when the visually impaired kid started working safety patrol. I didn’t want to be mistaken for a school bus.

I love that your dad bought you a bright yellow car before you could even drive. 🙂 How sweet. I don’t have many yellow articles of clothing but not because yellow doesn’t suit me. Maybe it does but I’ve never thought about it. I just wear whatever colour I like. 🙂 I’ve never been good at matching though. 🙂
Have fun with z.
I do believe that is a picture of my yellow corvette :)) And 20 years later I did learn that I could (or think I can) wear yellow. Loved this one
Yeah well the best picture I have is of your corvette. But they were twinkies so I figured it would work. Yes, you can wear yellow way better than I.
“Yellooow, again, Yellooow…I know it’s late, but I couldn’t wait..Yellow, my friend, Yellow!”=) Okayokayokay! Sorry, I couldn’t help myself, and my apologies to Neil Diamond.=)…And I thought back in the day all you cheerleaders looked great in yellow, even in the daytime, but you know what they say, “Momma knows best.” It must have been the black that absorbed the yellow jaundice-look.=) And looking at that pic of your’s or Staci’s yellow corvette is about to send me into a mid-crisis.=) That year model corvette is Awesome!=) Also, I liked the Seussianesque poem you added…you could’ve and you should’ve and it was Great!…And also, does a yellow traffic light mean caution, or speed up? It means Speed up…right?=)
Yellow indeed, almost forgot about it until Bo painted Jimmy Gryner’s 48 pickup the same color and revived it! Awesome poem & pics too!
Oh look – we both did yellow! It’s one of my favourite colours. My mother doesn’t like it either so never dressed me in yellow when I was little but now I love my yellow clothes! Apologies for the late comment.
Yes we did Suzy! I’m still reading and commenting on A-Z too!
I did yellow too! Not my favorite, but properly placed, it certainly lends a glow!
FYI, I just nominated you for a Liebster award over on my blog; I have really enjoyed reading your posts throughout the challenge!
You can accept and do, or accept and not do, either works for me.
Take care!
Thank you so much! And thanks for supporting me during A-Z:))
