This beautiful tray is about to go in the oven. Asparagus, brussels sprouts, and purple sweet potatoes. They have a balsamic maple marinade.

My hair is brown with natural blonde highlights and absolutely no grey in sight.

I'll see myself out.

I was blonde at birth and then my hair darkened to light brown. I still have natural blonde and red in there too. Unfortunately I have more of those gray highlights starting to show up. But I really cannot complain since I am just over a year away from my 5th decade. Still have yet to color my hair.

I was white blonde when I was little too.... and like you mine is a light brown/ash blonde color now. I use to color my hair an auburn color... but it's so much work... I'm trying to just embrace the gray!

Free pizza is better than no pizza.

Right now my hair is burgundy, next week maybe purple, I think there's brown under the dye

Like my mother, I found my first grey hair at age 19, but, I was so blonde at the time they just kinda' mixed in.
My mother has dark hair and my fathers nickname as a child was "Cotton" because he was so blonde.
My hair started to darken over time, and in my mid 30's the grey became much more prevalent.
Now it's all grey, except for the reddish-brown in the soul and mustache of my beard.
Never even thought about altering the color, as it always seemed like it would be too much of a pain, and just another needless thing to hafta' keep track of.
So, I too have always just embraced the gray kinda’ like this guy...



Unlike this guy...!!!!!

Personally I don't think it's very acceptable for guys to dye their hair... it always looks fake to me... more fake than womans dye. Maybe because they use the "for men" dye that only has like 6 color choices!

Thanks, Figgy!!!
No worries, as we haven’t had anything too crazy in our hood.....yet.
Currently cloudy and 65 here, but, the only rain I’m seeing across the entire state is a little up just east of Dallas.

Hey, @ajrwdwgirl , I caught up with your on going trip report, and I will be sharing it with DD this weekend. I told her she needs to pay attention to what the people in the pictures are wearing. She is convinced all the coats and jackets are locals that think 60 is freezing. I have less than a year to convince a 15 yr old girl, who of course knows much more than I do, that So. Cal. is not FL. Spring can still be chilly. Bring more than shorts!

Even for this trip I have pants, capris and shorts packed. I also have a sweatshirt, light jacket and gloves. It can be chilly.

But the real question is... are you using packing cubes?!
