Color of the Day is Red

We are in another month already! In April I completed the Ultimate Blog Challenge, in May I completed the Song of the Day Challenge and now I am starting June with a new challenge, Color of the Day! The challenge is to follow the color prompt daily and find something with that color. This challenge is the brainchild of Glenda Cates from The MommiesReviews.com and her son C as one of his home school project. It’s almost like a scavenger hunt! Today’s Color of the Day is Red.

Red Rose

The first red that popped in my head is a beautiful red rose from our garden. My hubby talks to his roses everyday and the must listen because they are gorgeous. He brings me a rose every morning has has it waiting on the table when I come downstairs.

A few days after the buds appear the most beautiful roses bloom. This is the only rose bush we have that looks like a long stem rose from a florist plus it smells like raspberries!

I put the fresh picked roses in a vase to bring a little of the outdoor garden indoors. I love the dew drops that are still on the petals.

Red painted wall

January 2019 after living in our home since 1999 with terracotta and gold walls we decided the rooms needed a change of color. We painted the walls in the office, eating area and TV room mostly grey but accented one wall in the TV room a faux red. Since the office already had a red wall it looked great.

The red wall is opposite the kitchen with red appliances so it’s perfect. To finish off the room, we fabricated grey drapes on the wall opposite the grey painted wall and I made a simple box pleat valance of red with grey pleats. I love the change of colors and the red, black and grey area rug pulled the room all together.

Vehicles

While I’m on the red subject, even our vehicles are red! We had our 2013 Dodge Ram since January 2013 and we bought our 2017 Buick Regal for our 50th wedding anniversary in July 2017.

Our Dodge Ram was an awesome vehicle but closing in on 7 years old and 90,000 miles it was time to look for a new one. We couldn’t find a Dodge with the packages we wanted so we checked out Chevy. As soon as we sat in this 2020 Chevy 4×4 Crew Cab we were sold. The main thing was the leather seats, something we couldn’t find in the Dodge. We love this truck, there is so much more leg room for backseat passengers in the crew cab compared to the extended cab Dodge.

Oh and did you notice the red shutters? You might say we like red! So day one of the challenge Color of the Day is Red is completed, only 29 more days until the July Ultimate Blog Challenge!
