This Drone Video of Autumn in New England Will Lift Your Soul

Autumn had taken over New England,
with its exceptional style. Trees roared with color, 
and as they passed their peak, the air took on a snap
 that hinted slyly of winter.

Everyone has heard about the incredible leaf colors that blanket parts of New England and the Midwest during autumn. But to actually see the red, yellow and orange leaves glowing like embers along hilly landscapes, around glassy lakes and dappled among harbor towns is another thing entirely. 

HOUZZ

_______________

It was balmy early autumn, perfect New England weather, 
with the trees just beginning to hint at the wild color to come 
in the evening
light of a slowly deepening sky. 
When he got home, he promised himself, he was going to 
take a glass of wine, sit on his back porch
and survey his kingdom.

Best Fall Foliage

The first thing Serena noticed during the drive from the airport were the trees. It had been

some time since she’d seen oak and maple and pine touched with fall. It was barely

September, but the feel of autumn was in the air, with all its strength and colour.

adoption

“I suppose that’s the biggest part of being an adopted child—

knowing you were wanted that badly, that completely.

It can be the most sturdy of bonds.”

Why adoptive parents like Sandra Bullock feel that 'the perfect child will find you'

Sandra Bullock and Hoda Kotb share a special connection — both agree they were destined for motherhood by adopting their children.

YAHOO!

Hubert de Givenchy, RIP

Onscreen, the actress usually played the frothy, flighty heroine who suited her busty blond looks and guileless blue eyes. 

At first glance it was tempting to typecast her as someone who giggled and wriggled a lot. 

It took Julia less than five minutes to revise her opinion. 

Lily was a sharp, witty, ambitious woman who exploited her looks rather than being exploited by them. 

She was also very much at home in the traditional parlor of the Knightsbridge house, 

looking very cool, very British, 

and very wifely in a simple blue Givenchy.

“His are the only clothes in which I am myself. 

He is far more than a couturier; he is a creator of personality.”

Host a Chocolate Tasting

"We've got hot chocolate. Chocolate mousse, chocolate drops and chocolate-covered  pretzels."

"Julia chose the menu," Laura put in.

"Butch did." Setting the box down, Julia opened it. "And he's going to really go for these. Have a seat, Naomi, and pull up some calories."
