So today's day lily count ...

I was up and out early today after a breakfast of a half/banana and a bowl of Cheerios, and some cranberry juice. The world is humid and warm, with absolutely still air. Oh yeah, it is also grey gray grey gray ... and maybe supposed to rain:
12 -- one slim dozen -- bursting from the pod.

Later answered mail, watched Phantom of the Opera, had a good meal, avoided the news.

I'm interested, do you distinguish between 'grey' and 'gray', or just treat them as variant spellings of the same word? I do the latter (I'll write 'grey', being British, but I'll accept either when reading just as I do with 'colour' and 'color'), but I had an American friend who thought of 'gray' as being a different colo(u)r, slightly yellowish (a darker form of "off-white").

(Oddly, in E.E. 'Doc' Smith's Lensman books, in the UK editions they used the British spelling up to "Grey Lensman" and after that the American spelling. It always throws me when I read them in order: I can cope with either spelling, but not mixed or changing...)

I think of "grey" and "gray" as two distinct colors. It annoyed me for years that Del Rey house style was "gray," which made Miri's eyes the wrong color.

Baen obligingly allows "grey" -- but that means all things that have been properly "gray" all along are now shaded wrongly.

I suppose it all balances out, and most people don't notice, anyway. . .

I'm color-blind on gray/grey. Same-same. And the LJ spellcheck doesn't recognize grey . . .
