mostly i posted this because these two colors together just send me. that ever so slightly rusty red-orange paired with the softspoken matte verdigris of the robin’s eggs. but it is also appropriate that the berries are from a bittersweet plant, and the eggs are from a robin, because this summer flew by, even more than most, and it seems a very short time ago that the robins had just returned to our yard, and now it is the first day of school, and the robins are already thinking about heading out, and that, my friends, is very bittersweet.
