The first full weekend of fall, and it is a beauty of a start to the season. It’s amazing how quickly seasons can change, and in less than a week we’ve gone from sunny 80 degrees to cool, temperate rainy upper fifties.

With a tug to begin decorating my home for the season, a trip to one of my favorite nurseries to pick up a few beautiful pumpkins is in store this weekend. Perhaps along the way a stop at the bookstore and a chance to sit down at my favorite patisserie (which was profiled this past week – oh, you must have a look). Who knows where the weekend will take me. Days off like these are the most delightful and much anticipated, wouldn’t you agree?

Here is a look at the past week on the blog:

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy this last weekend of September. Until Monday, bonjour.
