I'm Learning To Love The Color Brown....

shocker!
I'm learning to love the color brown ...
you see I'm very affected by color
 and I know what I like and don't
for instance orange is not a fav
and yellow is not top on my list either.
don't get me wrong - I love daffodils, the centers
of a fresh daisy in bloom, forsythia, a perky Gerber in
bright orange, a juicy, sweet orange or tangerine.


anywhoo
now I like brown
yup, I do, I do!
