Orange You Glad

A few months ago, a friend got rid of her orange couches and very generously offered them up. Our couches downstairs were so outdated, so old, and so ugly. Shane was a little suspect of orange couches, but after bringing them home and putting them downstairs, even he had to admit that it brightened up the room. My favorite time is morningtime when the sunshine hits the orange couches and it all seems so bright. I am glad for the couches and for the kindness of best friends.

At this time of year, I am also glad for candy corn. I eat so much that my teeth ache. My favorite are the indian corn variety, but I haven't been able to find those this year. I've made do with the pumpkins. I like to bite off the green first.

Most of all, I'm glad for orange toys and brothers who love each other.

I really like the color combo of your orange couch and the blueish wall!

So is it bad that even though I really love the orange in the pictures, what I love most is Tommy's drool? Because I do.

orange couches, how fun! Love the little candy pumpkin too, I bet he was gobbled up right after the shutter clicked :)

I thought I loved the first photo most because who couldn't love Tommy setting off such an beautiful orange background, but then I saw the third one and knew it was the winner. So touching and the way you accented the orange is so creative.

That orange hue is simply LOVELY! I love touches of daring, and it usually is quite the uplifting piece of furniture or art or dishes or SOMETHING! I cannot believe you can't find indian candy corn... in INDIANa, for heaven's sake! We have it here in RI everywhere I turn. My grandkids LOVE it! Your boys are absolutely beautiful... precious beyond words! xo!

To be a noble human being is to be enduring a philanthropic of openness to the in the seventh heaven, an ability to trusteeship undeterminable things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding about the condition of the principled passion: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a prize, something rather dainty, but whose acutely special attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
