Dear Liz: All those warm autumn colours you describe give us the blues.
It means the tourist season is over and any green signs $$$$$$$ will have
to wait for spring. If I had a Christmas season, I think I would love
autumn most of all but living in the north has made me think snow the four
letter word is just around the corner. We have woken to a blanket of snow
on our Thanksgiving weekend show and sale. The furnace chugging full blast
to keep the customers warm. Ole four letter had a dampening effect on the
green. Customers were bitchy and not visiting the green machine.
For now, I think I like the green of spring best of all. New growth, new
beginnings, green stuff $$$$
Cheers, Tony
