Yesterday afternoon, we went for a walk. It was a beautiful day, and we were a little too far into the walk when we realized the sun would be setting a whole hour earlier than the day before.
As we walked back to the car, the early evening sun lit up the landscape as it set.
Now, I've often heard people remark on the amazing number of greens in nature and the landscape.
I found myself speechless at the number of browns.
We are in the season of brown. No longer do we have yellows, oranges or reds on our trees. They have been gone for weeks now.
But the browns... the colors of earth that you can almost smell...
The hue of the deer that has been darkening as the winter approaches
Even the water, sky and sun take on this earthy hue, as they too quiet down for winter.
Perhaps we should altar the church season colors to an array of browns to reflect this time of deepening...

I really love browns too.
I certainly think November could be brown - especially as we celebrate the promise of God's reign.
Also, brown goes very nicely with blue....
What a beautiful idea. I think so, too.
