What is it about the sunlight in Autumn? Like suddenly the shadows are longer, darker, different. The mountains have a clarity that they didn’t have in July. Today was a perfect Autumn day. The sun was doing that certain something it does in September and October. I can’t get enough. We went to Calagrana for the first time in I don’t know how long. It was delicious as usual. The pictures are along the way or from their terrace. Just LOOK at that sky!

This is the picture I grabbed outside Calagrana. The view is always lovely. Ely’s flowers are always beautiful.

Lunch with friends today. I tried the winter salad with anchovies and the venison stew with a pastry top. Both were yummy and autumnal.

Overall, it was an outstanding day. We had delicious food with old friends on a glorious fall day. What’s not to like?!

Buona domenica!
