Namaste, World!
Autumn is in the air! The leaves are crackling underfoot, waiting to be raked into huge piles and jumped in- one of our favorite pastimes here! The garden is springing alive with sprouts bursting from the damp earth- beans, greens and beets- oh yes, and don’t forget the carrots. Gentle breezes wift throught the trees, dipping the temperature to a pleasant 88 degrees-well, we do live in Florida folks!
We went to a wedding last weekend at Silver Springs Nature Park. Charlie Di Libero and Alex Daley. A beautiful couple in a forest of friends and flowers- blue and white. It was a lovely wedding, after hours, with h’or dourves served on the path over looking the main spring. We took the glass bottom boat out and dined in the Cypress Room- made up like a mystical ice palace- silver and blue, with ice carvings of dolphins and a horses head. My favorite part of the evening was having my kids there- Thank you Charlie and Alex! I actually love having my kids around. They are cool and fun and it is great to be able to do something as a family, and being of Italian descent, I believe Charlie would fully understand- family is everything!
Weddings aside, Charlie and Alex are off on their honeymoon- to Europe. October is the perfect time for travel. It is not yet freezing, but not hot either. I went to Canada with my sister Susan one October. And India…well the colors of autumn the reds, oranges and yellows, remind me of Rahjasthan- the sarees and turbans, the salwar kameez, the saffron and tumeric, the sadhus. My friend Debbie runs a travel company now. I met her on her first trip to India- she fell in love with it and returned soon after as a tour rep. Now she runs her own company with tours to India. I know she’s headed there sometime this month. Check out her website: www.incredibleIndianTours.co.in Because October is the month for travel, adventure and a bloody good curry!
Namaste World!
