Dale and I started out the year with another Charles Wysocki puzzle, A Friendly Good Day. We put this together on New Year's Day.
This is the very first Wysocki puzzle I've worked on that I did not like. It made me antsy. The illustration is great, as always. But the coloring and tone made it a nightmare for me. The overall yellow / orange tone made the pieces mush together too much for my brain.
Conversely, this was one of Dale's favorite puzzles. His color blindness was an attribute. Instead of trying to decipher what was red vs what was green, or what was purple vs what was blue, he could sort the pieces easily by tone and texture. I relied on the shapes of each piece.
It's a good reminder that we can each play to our strengths and find joy in our unique abilities.
I did enjoy picking out the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
