"Black was one of the first colors used by artists in neolithic cave paintings. In the Roman Empire, it became the color of mourning, and over the centuries it was frequently associated with death, evil, witches and magic. In the 14th century, it began to be worn by royalty, the clergy, judges and government officials in much of Europe. It became the color worn by English romantic poets, businessmen and statesmen in the 19th century, and a high fashion color in the 20th century.
In the Western World today, it is the color most commonly associated with mourning, the end, secrets, magic, power, violence, evil, and elegance." - wikipedia.org
we will need the umbrella for the next two days as the weather people are forecasting rain and intermittent rain. we don't need this today, though. not with such blue skies, you will see in my other post.
i am so well behind in commenting. my laptop continues to disagree with me; i aggravated my back crouching on my knees while vacuuming; and i need to desperately do my income tax or i will never get it done on time. please bear with me, i shall catch up as much as i can.
Really like the sheen you have on the umbrella, please do not worry about commenting, better to do the tax thing don't wish to see pictures of you behind bars - yikes!
