Glad your roses survived the storm; they are pretty hardy except when the deer visit.

I tend to go for the deep and bright colors. You really can't go wrong with a dress in such a gorgeous color.<br /><br />We are having a very rainy fall, which was just the way our spring was. I think this is our new climate. It is nice to have some cooler weather.

That's just me though; I've never been a big fan of pastels except for baby things; I don't know why. There's something about deep, rich colours that excites me visually. They don't need to necessarily be bold or exceedingly bright, just deep and definite! Regardless, both shawls would be perfect accessories.<br /><br />Let's hope the world slows down for a little while to give everyone space and time to breathe, recover and reflect after all the stress.<br />Hugs xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-32008603944356043582017-10-13T16:52:45.639-04:002017-10-13T16:52:45.639-04:00Beautiful colours in your shawl Meredith.
