The US half of wonder | wander | women has lived in Hudson County for ten years now. We easily cross the Hudson River countless times through its bridges and tunnels to get our New York City fix.
The proud consensus is that life along either side of the Hudson River is best highlighted in autumn - leaf peeping season in these parts. When the leaves start changing their colors in brilliant hues of yellow, orange and red the whole landscape shines in a blaze of glory.
It is easy to see why the Hudson River School artists believed that nature in the form of the American landscape was an ineffable manifestation of God. Their works depict the Hudson Valley as it was appreciated for its pastoral rugged and sublime qualities.
Although city living in either New York or New Jersey is no longer bucolic or pristine, with sparse nature or natural settings, we can still manage to eke out some gems as we go about our daily life in these urban jungles.
With daylight savings falling back in time this November 4, we treasure our sunlit hours even more as the temperatures cool down faster than we wish they would.
The 45th Village Halloween Parade marks the start the holidays for us over here. Beginning in Allhallowtide with All Saints' Eve (Halloween, Oct 31), All Saints' Day (Nov 1), and All Souls' Day (Nov 2).
Whether you are partying in the streets, praying to heavenly saints above, or honoring loved ones gone and buried, we wish you a bright and cheery holiday season.
