Okay, here's the deal with the purple:

1. It's supposed to be "big" for Fall.

2. I came across this image while browsing tonight. It makes purple seem like just the right thing -- so cool and dark -- for the dog days of Summer. A nice, deep eggplant color would be perfect.

    The problem with eggplant in the summer is that it absorbs sunlight and heat. Lavender is much better. Ummmmmmm, lavender. A nice Barney purple would be great for fall, though.

    Scrog off, John. Purple is perfect anytime, anyplace. I consider myself an expert (as should you!) on the matter. I have been Ms. Purple many many days and the temperature outside affects only the the length of the sleeve. (OK, occassionally I take the season into consideration when selecting the shade...but it's not a deal breaker all together!)

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
