| So pretty! |
I went looking in my photo gallery for a picture of snowdrops, which are just now beginning to pop out of the ground. But instead, I decided to use this lovely picture of crocus, taken in February a while back, and I was mesmerized by the beautiful purple color, my favorite shade, too.
Do you have a favorite color? And, if so, are you still a fan? When I was a young girl, I remember admiring pinks and purples and noticing the way they shimmered in the sunlight, as opposed to brown and grey colors. But I've never been keen to wear red or orange, which I now associate with old people.
Somehow, I became one of them while I wasn't paying attention, and I realize that I sitll don't wear or look much at those colors. Of course, losing my central vision and losing the ability to appreciate detail has also dimmed my enthusiasm for vibrant colors, and the happy days I spent with coloring books ane crayons. My sister and I spent many hours cutting out and designing dresses for our dolls. Alas, it has fallen away.
I don't know if I dreamt much last night, but I met John at the coffee shop, and asked him to let me out halfway to my home, so I could listen to a podcast but not have a long way to walk. It's dry once again, after lots of rain.
I allow myself one 12-oz beer a day these days, which sometimes seems like not enough, but it really is. Now I am quaffing the last of it, and getting ready to sign off. Hope you're doing well.

When asked about a favorite color, I always think of blue. Maybe it is, but I really do like most colors. I just started working with fabrics again, and blending colors and shades and prints is something I love to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of crocus! Purple is such a soothing, regal color. It sounds like you’re finding small joys despite changes, and that’s really heartening to hear.
ReplyDeleteI like pink, all shades, and all shades of blue. Some reds, but not so much oranges, yellow, or purples, except in flowers.
ReplyDeleteI like yellow, sunny and warm! I have always associated Purple with old gals not sure why!
ReplyDeleteColorwise, I've always liked blue... mostly light blue (like the sky), but also combinations of blues and browns. I've never cared for purple, red, or orange. And lately I've become fond of pale pink.
ReplyDelete(and I've never cared for beer...until I tried Guinness). But I'm glad you're enjoying yours!
Guys don't do colors. They have trouble buying clothes or is that just me?
ReplyDeleteGuys don't do colors was part of a Pickles comic recently. :-)
DeleteI love blues, all shades, even navy. I was never fond of wearing red or orange either. I associated them with Christmas and Halloween more than anything about the colours themselves.
ReplyDeleteI love wearing red, and I love pansies and crocuses too.
ReplyDeleteThose crocus are gorgeous. I love anything in the blue family, but I think teal is my favorite. It incorporates green, too.
