A Most Beautiful Autumn Weekend

 

      

Wasn't this weekend just gorgeous? My mom lives in a cheerful little house in Montclair, NJ, and gave me the keys while she was away. With her place as my home base, I drove up to the New Jersey Highlands and hiked this trail, which circled around a lake and had some really beautiful views. At night, I cooked a homey thick pasta with broccoli, and snuggled up by the fire with Cloud Atlas, Minou, and a glass of red. Cozy, woodsy, autumnal bliss.
