[es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."
I am trying to soak up the autumn colors before they drain away. We had a cold weekend here, but according some article in the paper, we're due for a mild winter. I'll believe it when I see it.
Fab photos! (As always.)

Beeautiful, Claire! I drove down to Columbus last week and the color was AMAZING.
