Such a beautiful meditation on the word gray/grey. I can only remember which is British and which American by telling myself A is American and E is English. I hope you're having a great fall and that it's blue as well as grey. Bright day here in Upstate New York!
Well isn't that a handy way to remember. Thanks Katherine. And thank you too for your lovely words. Very grey today, but also gold (the tamaracks are turning), and there have been snippets of blue. I hope the same for you (the snippets of blue) in glorious New York .
it’s about the last post….I hope Beryl received the complements that were her due for a good post. Our cats would often leave evidence by the printer of their attempts at prose during the evening before, but they were devoid of the illustrations done by your loyal partner in twine.
Unlike Katherine, below, I report from a gloomy day in metropolitan NY. And doggone cold for 28 Oct.
I agree on cold, also cold here on Colorado Front Range north of Denver. Sunny and not grey or gray, but 51, wind chill 46. I would have guessed 36F! Tomorrow's morning temp forecast is 22°F. I guess we are on the cold north side of the Farmer's Almanac forecast of this winter's weather. 😱😱
They are 2 different colors in my mind, too. I know I have just chosen that this is so, but it is pretty clear in my mind that grey is darker than gray! lol
🩶 Love this post. Your creativity and photos really show off the beautiful nuances of the best of all neutrals. I am also a big fan of gray with an “a”. Although grey with an “e” has it’s own charms. 🩶
I love this post as I am always intrigued and fascinated by the color gray. It always presents a different face. Really, is there even an actual color gray? So many variations! But today, I'm looking at an ominous cloudy gray sky that is the perfect backdrop to the brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows of the trees. It's an amazing autumnal afternoon.
I too ponder the gray\grey thing. Recently looked it up. Grey/gray area for sure. Love those random snow speckles in the air in that photo; such a bliss stimulating fractal feeling!
Me loving (or at least willing) to be outside in all the weathers on all the days suits her just fine, so wanting to go out to noticing grey/ay is a fine thing...
You feel happy to be a one person one dog household, but I am sure Beryl is over the moon with happiness! May you both have a few happy gray/grey days! :-)
Arghghghg. So so sorry about the sciatica. Such a thing that happens to one's head when we can't do the things we're used to -- esp in the realm of movement. Sending you all the good stuff for it easing up.

Love Grigio!
Make a circular movement with flat palms against each other and you have the sign for grey in Swedish Sign Language. 🤟
That is wonderful to know. Thank you Josefin.

Yipes. Winter arriving. Hope you've plenty of wool to cozy up in
Ha! I will pass your words along to Beryl--snoozing between our dark, rainy deliciously mysterious morning walk, and breakfast..
Appreciating all the nuances!
As someone for whom gray and grey are two very different colors, I heartily enjoyed today's post!

Fascinating on both counts. I do notice that every time I type it, one or the other feels like the right word for whatever it is I'm saying.

Wild, isn't it, how a person can feel the differences between the two--and that they really matter.

That's it exactly--like the golds and reds and yellows and oranges wait for those roiling clouds and misty mornings to look their best.

Ha! A grey/gray area. That's glorious .
So many gorgeous grays.... I'm guessing Beryl approves of this particular obsession!

Oh yes. Gray. Or Grey. But deeply satisfying either way.

Thank you Sandy. We are doing our best to relish them all
I love going on walks with you and Beryl—especially when I’m sidelined with sciatica as now!

oooh, thanks! That's wondrous to know.
Thank you so much, dear Sarah, for your wonderful posts.
They always enrich my everyday life and make me very happy.
(if your beautiful sketches are available as a book, please let me know)
With many fall greetings from Germany,

Thank you so much Maria. I've need thought to put them together in a book (other than the sketchbooks they are in. What an interesting idea!
I am Maria, not Mary 😉
