RE: Picture A Day - Indian summer goldies

in Picture A Day10 days ago

exactly the colors in my imagination when i hear these words - Indian summer
and i always was in bewilderment, why they use the word "INDIAN"
Is it about the India or the Indian ppl inhabiting North America.

So here the explanation :

"J. M. Flowers of Carpentersville, Ill., provided the following interesting explanation that predates 1778. He writes, “My wife and I were vacationing in Scotland and we overheard a Scott mention Indian Summer. I asked how the term started in Scotland. He said it had to do with sending British troops to India in the late fall. The weather was still warm in India — thus the term “Indian Summer.”"

Sort:  

I do not have exact colours for it, but various shades of gold with a touch of crimson and splashes of green, plus clear skies and soft warm weather - and we are there.

J.M.Flowers' explanation seems like a later "rationalization"... but it may be true. Would be funny if this is the real origin of this expression. In any way, I'll remember it! 😊 Now I have something to say to my daughter when she asks me about it.
