Blue always looks its best paired with orange and red. We take a note from nature's blue skies in Fall and imitate it in our decorating.
But the blue skies always outdo anything we could attempt. Blue skies with cooler temps are always guaranteed to make you smile.
If we were to be able to live in any season we choose, I would stay in Autumn. It's exhilarating!
Not unlike taking that first swim in the blue water of swimming pools and oceans in the hot summer, after months of intense heat the cool blue skies rejuvenate us.
The chilly temperatures bring out an excitement, a joyous relief knowing the heavy burden of heat has left us for the season.

Thank you Nellie! We are so fortunate to have so much color in nature.
DeleteBeautiful colors to welcome fall. I do like seeing blue dinnerware this time of year. I don't pull mine out this time of year and I really need to remember to do so. Lovely table!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara! I hope you are having a great weekend.
DeleteOh Jan, I love the setting, that nest to too precious! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! My mister found that in our yard. We have so many birds hanging around here because of all the trees.
DeleteBeautiful! Thanks for the tip about using blue with orange; I didn't realize.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! They are opposites so they really compliment each other. Thank you for commenting.
