ORANGE LADIES
These parents came to H's school Hallowe'en costume parade and demonstrated their spirit by dressing appropriately. I felt quite the drab sparrow in my blue jeans and light brown fleece, standing next to these gorgeous birds of paradise! Maybe next year I'll be more with the program.

I've always liked the color orange, despite its take-over by fast-food restaurants and consequent loss of esteem. Somebody famous once said something along these lines "Orange is red made more human by the presence of yellow."
