I have very fond memories of Living in Virginia.
Today I was reminding of why.My favorite time of year is the fall, the nights are cool and crisp and the afternoon is warm. The colors are vibrant and so alive. Interesting b/c the earth is preparing to sleep.
Last night I had my first dinner party here. It was lovely. It was a very small, intimate party.
I served individual herbed cheese ball, spicy southwest nuts, and the blue cheese spirals- soo good, then we had a mixed salad with and orange vinegrette, beef barley soup, bread and warm blueberry pie.
We were sooo full no one had pie!
We talked and talked and ate- does it get any better than that?
Today had been one of those mysterious and grey days.
This is one of my favorite type of days.
There was a constant mist in the air, your breath clung to the cold air and would raise up as if telling a secret. A warm sweater and a hot cup of cocoa made it complete.
I walked around the neighborhood and took some photos in the muted light.
Today is the kind of day my somewhat romantic (and more than a little foolish) heart dreams of a knight riding along and into my life. Alas that did not happen today, but then again fall is just getting into full swing and I have many more "falls" in my life.
