Maybe we just haven’t hit the
dial right yet.
Because, on the “big screen”
view of the world beyond the
kitchen window, the color picture
won’t come in. Indeed, we seem to
be locked into receiving transmis
sions in monochromatic shades of
brown.
Not that brown isn’t a pretty
color.
Those subtle hues of autumn
browns, from pale golds to the
stately, leathery-look of the oaks,
make fall such a beautiful season.
Chocolatc-candy-brown is a
hands-down favorite. And the soft
brown shades in the coals of Solo
mon, our Shcltie member of the
family, and Butch, the beige and
black tiger cat, stir admiration.
But brown has dominated the
outside landscape for months,
stretching across the horizon and
around the contours. Various
shades all brown delineated
fields of com stubble, dormant
alfalfa stands even plantings of
barley and wheal, the living

growth stunted and pale from
harsh, cold winter winds.
Woodlols are a blend of deep
brown and black, each bare trunk
and limb adding its own distinct
bark tone to the shading. Meadow
grasses lay dormant in beige col
ors, matching the hue of the ring
of dead cattail stalks rimming the
pond.
Of course, we had a dramatic
color-reception change there the
other week as the brown was
wiped out by transmissions in sol
id white and buried us under
drifts for a week.
Eventually that enhanced the
brown tones outside the window,
as a single passage of a tractor
churned the melting mess on the
field road to pure ooze mud.
Equipment tires transferred that
same muddy shade to the road and
driveways around the buildings.
A dozen escaped heifers out
cavorting one night after dark
pockmarked the soggy yard with
brown tracks, creating neat little
hoof-shaped puddles for the rain.

And not too surprisingly, brown
handprints added color contrast on
one of the salmon-colored bath
room towels. Telltale evidence,
requiring no need to take finger
prints to track the muddy party.
Still, as the while gave way
back to brown, hints of a renewed
color picture on the world’s b
