. . . a sunny & blustery late-saturday morning and the carryalls are packed for a weekend adventure — crested blazers and crisp blouses and a cozy scarf or two for overcast skies and it’s off to fireplaces and turning leaves, country drives and quaint cafés . . .

a million thank you’s for stopping by to say hello this week, and — of course — for the thoughtful comments, tweets and e-mails — hope you’re having a spectacularly wonderful weekend and that it’s beautiful where you are,
