We were impresed by the interior ceiling of the Mosque of Muhammad Ali at the Cairo Citadel (Citadel of Salah Al-Din) here in Cairo, Egypt.The Citadel was built on a promontory beneath the Muqattam Hills, a setting that made it difficult to attack. In the 20th century it was used as a military garrison by the British occupation and then by the Egyptian Army until being opened to the public in 1983. In 1976, it was proclaimed by UNESCO as a part of the World Heritage Site Historic Cairo (Islamic Cairo) which was "the new centre of the Islamic world, reaching its golden age in the 14th century."

How does one illuminate a two-story glass conservatory for night-time entertaining? And at the same time, create a chandelier in the High Country style that brings nature indoors? We called the only person up to the task: Matt Bier (846) 643-8444. ([email protected]) His combination of mountain laurel branches, dried pods, honeysuckle, globe lights, stargazer lights, euchalyptus, dried banksia flowers, metallic gingko, Monterey pine, dried yarrow, gypsophila and protea gave us what we had hope for. Secondly, we needed an equally capable professional who could manage electrical issues with confidence: Joel Scarpati at Power Shield (203) 285-7850. ([email protected]).
Together they have given us conservatory lighting with a flair that will brighten our evening hours for years to come.

Planning a wedding in Tuscany? We couldn't imagine a more ideal setting than the Castellina in Chianti. Set in the wine-famous Chianti Hills between Florence and Siena, the complex offers accommodations, a 16th century San Salvatore church, dining facilities, wine cellar, gardens, all in the same compound. The sights include an imposing 14th-century Rocca (Fortress), offering spectacular views of the town and surrounding countryside.

After a week of shopping and eating in Milan, we couldn't find a more perfect setting: Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti wine country between Florence and Sienna.

Last Saturday we attended a wedding like no other. The setting was the Church of San Michele at the Passignano Abbey in San Casciano, a medieval village perched on the hills in the Chianti area, 15 km southwest of Florence. Maddie and Matteo Pozzi, who we’ve come to love as the daughter and son we never had, recited their vows in Italian. The mass and nuptials were officiated by Benedictine monks. It was a day we'll never forget. The couple are celebrating their honeymoon in Japan.

It's firewood season. So here are a few firewood facts: ⁣Unlike most fuels, firewood can be stored indefinitely.If it gets wet, it starts to rot so store it in a protected area.

Stacking: Place the newer wood on the bottom of the pile. Older (aged) wood should be on top so it gets used first.

The best burning wood is seasoned hardwood, led by ash, followed by black locust, beech, birch, oak and sugar maple.

Our firewood comes from Phil at huckleberrycinders.com (203) 231-2560.

Autumn has arrived. And with it are the warm greens, yellows, orangey reds, very peachy (yellowed) pinks and every shade of golden brown from warm chocolate tones through to light tan.

"Fall colors are funny. They're so bright and intense and beautiful. It's like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary." — Siobhan Vivian

A rose garden should be much more than mere roses. Here, a mix of companion plants - foxglove, lupin, baptisia, nepeta and boxwood - add color, texture, harmony and interest to the rose garden framed by privet hedges. In the background, espaliered smokebush grow on the caretaker's cottage. Photo captured by: .
