Saturday was a late-ish night for me. There was a small party near Boston and a bit more wine than usual. When I got home, I checked the phone for messages. Nothing. Good, it was still drizzling and my plans for Sunday / Monday were 'weather permitting'. I could sleep in. I thought. Around 6:45am the phone rang. Arrrghhh!!!!
me: Good Morning..
Ready?? Looks like a gorgeous day, we're on, aren't we?
me: Yes..I need to wake up and make coffee. Do I have an hour?
No, less than that. Besides, we're going for breakfast.
me: I still need coffee to get to breakfast. I'm up and rolling. See you as soon as I can get there. (there being the local airport)
Again, let me say, there is nothing like New England in the autumn. NOTHING. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!
I love seeing the colors from above. See the reds? That would be the lower, wetter areas that support the maples. The olive greens are the oaks and the greenest, the softwoods.
And, breakfast.. yummm... smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber and egg on a panini. Oh my! We flew into the Stowe, MA airport, just for breakfast. I'll go there again, by land or by air. Really good.
If it hadn't been for that little morning respite, the weekend would have been endless. The rest of it was spent stripping my office and studio bare, in preparation for new paint and flooring. It'll be wonderful when it's over. The process.. not so much.
It took a few hours to get the computer, printer, router, and modem relocated for use this week. but, I'm up and running and the acorns have been weighed.
Fabulous photos. I'd have taken a million!

What a thrill to be able to fly so low over the countryside seeing details and colors! Heart stopping Beautiful.
Hope the painting and laying of the new floor is moving along well and swiftly!
