Once upon a time there was a girl I knew, who lived across the street. Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way had to do with her. ~~The Wonder Years.
Someone once threw me a small, brown, hairy kiwi fruit, and I threw a wastebasket over it until it was dead.” ~~Erma Bombeck
.
I look into your great brown eyes, Where love and loyal homage shine, And wonder where the difference lies Between your soul and mine! ~~Josiah G
.
Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses.

I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colors. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am
genuinely sorry for the poor browns. ~~Winston Churchill

Ah, two of your photos included my favorite brown things! (I'll let you guess... )
ReplyDeleteOh, who can resist a chocolate lab! Adorable, is he yours???
ReplyDeleteCoffee beans...cannot live without!
CM ~ oh no, he isn't mine. Only the eyes belong to me! LOL! The rest are from google. :) But he is adorable, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteoh excellent wonder years quote...and that lab is adorable. but coffee makes the post for me...straight black...or really dark brown...smiles.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, this is a lovely post!!!!
ReplyDeletei got faked out - thought you had a chocolate lab....and was going to say it could be the sib of the lab i'm posting - whose name fittingly is coco!!!
ReplyDeleteit is funny how the images you choose so coincide with many that i also choose! lab, coffee, brown eyes, leaf....
Love those chocolate brown eyes. Both pairs....
ReplyDeleteNow I was sure you baked the cake because it looked like one of your cake plates.
I to laugh when I saw the bags of coffee beans....check out my post today....I was standing in a pile of them.
Great pictures for your "brown" theme.
Who can't fall in love with that puppy. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnd who knew there were so many statements about brown. Wow.
Like Churchill, I tend to rejoice with all the brilliant colors, but brown has it's charms as well. There's nothing like a well worn brown leather chair for comfort, or wearing a brown trench coat to feel stylish.
ReplyDeletePUPPY!
ReplyDeleteAnd you just had to put up a pic of that cake again, didn't you? :P...
I used to love the "Wonder Years" and Winnie, the brown eyed neighbor. The photos are an excellent sampling of the color brown and you gotta love Erma Bombeck!
ReplyDeleteI love brown, I have always preferred it instead of black in clothing.;)
ReplyDeleteThe puppy picture is so cute.;)
xo
Brown in all its colour here. Enjoyed that.
ReplyDeletecoffee and chocolate - heaven!
ReplyDeleteYou select your quotes and arrange them like flowers in a vase. Happy Theme Thursday to you Betsy.

ReplyDeleteSuch great takes on the theme...but now I'm hungry for cake and chocolate and need to go take my dog for a walk! Great quotes...the first was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAh, Winston Churchill--one of my heroes. He had sucha way with words, didn't he? Love his wit here.
ReplyDeleteLove all these quotes in fact. how true.
Brown is one of my favorite colors now...just in the last few years. I started liking it when I started wearing it. Chocolate brown is my favorite, I think for the obvious chocolate, and then it's the color of coffee, too. I loved every picture and every quote! One of these days I'm going to get my act together and participate again...
