@ city share, I have never been to NYC...gasp! I know, it's horrible that I've never set foot in the Big Apple!! I envy the culinary culture you get to experience everyday!
Hope you have a lovely Fall...I hope you post pics on your blog so we can all enjoy the seasons change with you!

Beautiful poem. It has still been feeling like summer here in NYC until today. Today, it is cool and rainy. I can't wait to see some leaves change color.
