I am grateful that Maurizio and I enjoy the same type of places, the same relaxed pace, the same passion for art and beautiful countryside.
I am grateful that we both enjoy taking short breaks to circumscribed areas...and that we both love mid-October with its warm days and cool nights. These October breaks come at a propitious time: immediately after the fatigue of the grape harvest and toward the very end of the Genius Loci season which is in wind-down mode before its November 1 closing.
The urge arrives punctually and irresistibly every mid-October. We have taken many memorable trips in this period. This week it was to Piedmont and the Langhe area with its unique scenery, glorious weather, new small towns to visit, many picnics and lazy drives through breathtaking vineyards, fun wine-tastings, fine food and a permeating sense of leisure.
No small thing for which to be grateful. The compatibility and ease of togetherness is paramount...and this is not always a given.

So incredibly true that "compatibility and ease of togetherness is paramount". Those of us who have a found such a soul mate, with whom to share our lives, are truly blessed. Thanks for this lovely entry!
