All of a sudden it is November. Really, when did that happen? Anyway, I am back from Michigan ~ and somehow the evenings seem shorter and the mornings colder. Haven't had a chance to go through the photographs from my trip, but I do promise that there is a house tour to come in the next couple days. In the meantime, I thought I would warm you up with thoughts of green gardens, cozy houses, and a couple things to tempt the palate:* Mrs. Delany at Yale (the catalogue is amazing!)
* an eclectic farmhouse in the Catskills
* some Gourmet scones
* and the buzz in Washington these days

Your photographs are always so great. Love these 2 especially. I got Mrs Delany for my birthday-I want to see that exhibit before it heads out. I see you are reading The Blithedale Romance, I have not read it-how is it, and that looks like a Clarence John Laughlin photo on the cover.
As Lil' A says, lovely photos. I went to the eclectic farmhouse link and now I want one - the farmhouse, that is - and immediately. The problem is, upper New York State is not quite the northern suburbs of Atlanta. Will buy the Delany catalogue when back in stock.
Mrs. Delany is a must have. Love the pictures. KDM
Beautiful pics. I am new to your blog, but I will happily return. So much texture in these images, and they bring back wonderful memories for me not only from inside the Beltway, but antiquing throughout the Mid-Atlantic as a child and young teen.
little a ~ thank you, thank you! I too am dying to get up to New Haven...for that AND the Walpole exhibition. Am really enjoying "The Blithedale Romance" ~ it has been a while since I spent time with Hawthorne and it is wonderful. The cover photograph is by Trinette Reed.
Blue ~ my copy shipped today, so I think they are back in stock.
KDM ~ love the WHOLE book!
BigLittleWolf ~ thanks for stopping by and leaving behind such kind words!
Cheers all!
I need to reread Hawthorne. I had a great professor who was a Hawthorne expert. Rappaccini's Daughter was my favorite. Thanks to LA for sending Mrs. Delany to my attention. And I always find such delicious morsels at your blog. (My late father-in-law tried to make norsel a word at a late night Scrabble fight. He, the attorney, in an authoritative voice described it as a small morsel. Not!) No norsels here! I think you, LA and Blue have some of the best posts. A trinity I have enjoyed.
home before dark ~ your comments are like delicious morsels! Wow...thank you!
Janet, appreciate the catalog link :)
Courtney ~ you of all people should have that book! I haven't had a chance to REALLY read it, but even skimming has been delightful.
