Descriptions of Days

02.20.08

Each day–the weather, the light, the feel of it–has a certain color and flavor associated with it for me. For example, today is cool and cloudy with no rain, so I might associate it with the color green and the vegetable broccoli. A day like today with more moisture I would probably call a watercress or lettuce day–bland and pale green. Seattle rarely has hot and steamy days (red and tomato) or hot and dry days (orange and rosemary /basil), but the days I do appreciate are warm and sunny (yellow and peaches/cherries) in late summer. I also like stormy days (eggplant/violet and dark grey), as well as exciting winter weather days (peppermint/frost white). I haven’t thought about this much, but I am sure other people may make these associations as well. Anyone? Bueller?
