Getting a Bit Philosophical

This morning, as I was writing this, I was looking out the french doors that face out to my side yard. It was then that I noticed that most spring colors are derrived from religion. I mean, just ponder this concept for a moment. If spring colors had anything to do with spring itself, it would probably be variations of green. But no, what we see are pastels... which are linked to easter... which is linked to religion. So, really where does that get us? I don't exactly know but I am quite sure that I am tired of pastel pinks, blues, purples, etc. being dragged down the runway and then their residual counterparts showing up at the mainstream retailers like Target. 2010 is a big year. It means that we've spent 10 years in this new millenium and new, fresh colors for spring would be a great way to celebrate a new, fresh era.
