Where Do You Think We’re Going?

at by

Gosh, it was a gorgeous day yesterday! A high of 70, sunny all day long, beautiful light hitting the orange-yellow leaves on the trees – just beautiful. Though our maples are fast losing their leaves – they’ll be bare within the next week.

Today, though not quite as warm, looks to be just as beautiful.

We’re headed to Rhinebeck today. Don needs a new book to read, so we’re going to Oblong Books. We’re going to try to walk around the town a little, as well. I’ll take some pictures for you. Rhinebeck is a lovely town and I think it’s at its best in the Fall.

I have lots to do in the next few days before we leave for our trip on Sunday. I haven’t revealed the destination yet, but I will. Where do you think we’re going? If you’ve got an idea, please leave your guesses in the comments.

I know this is short, but I have to get going!

Happy Tuesday.

 

A Perfect Autumn Monday

at by

It’s a beautiful day today – sunny and cool. I just might do a bit of raking.

Don had a good day at the Farmer’s Market yesterday and then we met up with Rick and Doug for dinner. Our neighborhood restaurant, which is a favorite, was extremely busy yesterday – I guess because the fall colors are bringing people up to our area and it’s a three day weekend – so we put our names in and went back to Rick and Doug’s to wait an hour or so. That meant we got to spend some time with Sam, so…bonus.

We finally got our meal, which was delicious. This is a German restaurant and there’s a lot of meat on the menu, but they always have at least three vegan/vegetarian options and I’ve never had better vegetarian food. This was a big birthday for Rick, so I think our time spent laughing and having great discussions, as we always do, helped him to weather the tiny ‘storm’ that big birthdays can sometimes bring.

I finished A Bitter Feast. Reading one of Deborah Crombie’s books is like getting to spend time with old friends. The same feeling you have with a new Louise Penny. It was simply splendid and I recommend it highly. I just finished it this morning, so I haven’t decided what I’m going to start in on next. We’ll see.

Today is grocery shopping day – I know, too exciting for words! But we’re out of almost everything so it’s the first thing we’re going to do after I finish this post.

Thought you might like to see the photo of us that Rick took yesterday:

Happy Monday.

On Sunday

Thank you for all the lovely anniversary wishes yesterday!

Don was taking pictures for much of the day, but he had a special dinner up his sleeve which he proceeded to concoct as soon as he got home. It was lovely. We also opened a bottle of sparkling cider and toasted each other and our marriage. Lovely.

Today, we meet Rick and Doug late in the afternoon to celebrate Rick’s birthday, which is today.

But before that, Don is working at the Farmer’s Market.

I’m about 3/4 of the way through A Bitter Feast  by Deborah Crombie. Excellent. But then, every book she has written in her Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series is excellent.

Today, some chores, some celebration, and some rest – eventually.

Thank you again.

Happy Sunday.
