BOOK 08, CHAPTER 9, PAGE 21

Autumn is a reminder

that each of us in beautiful

in our uniqueness

 

Orange is most often associated with autumn, the time of harvest and completion, and colored leaves. The year has fulfilled the promises of spring and summer.

In some ways, orange is the color of farewell, for after this comes the bleakness of winter. In other ways it is a beginning: the start of the school year, and the time one gets back into the swing of so-called normal life

It is also beloved of those who create knock-knock jokes.

"Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Orange." "Orange who?" "Orange [aren't] you going to let me in?"

Or, "Orange you glad you answered the door?"

Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow

Orange can be found in nature in the changing leaves of fall, the setting sun, and the skin and meat of citrus fruit.

Orange brings up images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and (in combination with Black) Halloween. It represents the changing seasons so in that sense it is a color on the edge, the color of change between the heat of summer and the cool of winter.

GOOD MORNING !

After reading all that, I think orange could become my favorite color. I was surfing the net looking for more info on fall and ran into several articles about the color orange so I thought I might as well share them with you too.

We’ve all heard about living on the edge. Sounds a little dangerous or exciting doesn’t it? We are on the edge today and tomorrow we’ll FALL. That’s right…it will be officially Autumn tomorrow.

It’s been really hard saying good bye to summer for me this year. Although I really just said Aloha, not good bye and now we all know what Aloha means. If you don’t know and are just reading this for the first time, just go back to my entries at the beginning of September.

I’ll be going off to church at eleven this morning…I’ve only been there twice this summer as I’ve been going to the little church near the campground since April. I’ve gone to the same church since 1965 and it’s always like going home there as I know so many people and all is very welcoming and comfortable.

I’m in such a habit (some are good) of going, that it just isn’t right to stay home on Sunday morning no matter where I am. I’ll be saying some special prayers for all my friends and family today. There are so many needs and concerns and I ‘m sure our good Lord knows and cares about each and every one of them.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Days change so many things –

 - yes, hours –

- we see so differently in suns and showers.

George Klingle
