"Ivy Palace" No More: Let's Think Positive (this is gonna kill me . . . )


Will you look at this.

The Tumbleweed Tiny House people have a new manager, Ella Jenkins, and she has a tiny house.  Here’s what she says about it:

"I chose the name Little Yellow (Buidhe Bheag) because to me, yellow means sunshine, daffodils and California. In Scottish Gaelic, the colour yellow (buidhe) is often used as a positive emphasis symbolizing happiness, luck or beauty. A person who is "pretty, yellow" (brèagha, buidhe) is very pretty indeed and The phrase "I am yellow" (tha mi buidhe) means that one is well, happy or satisfied."
 
 
 

That is so damn positive it makes me want to run out in traffic.

But part of me admits . . . at this point my cabin should have a better name than the Ivy Palace (or Ivy Acres, as it is known to some).  Besides, it's 5 degrees outside and any poison ivy that was growing there has packed up and left for St. Croix. So henceforth, IP will be Barney’s Cabin, for this blog anyway.  And next time there will be a new blog title.  I’m wondering, though, if I can change the URL . . . .
