Curiosities


All sorts of little bits of burgeoning tree


have been falling on to parked cars on 25th Street (and every other street for that matter)...


... forming a sort of yellow confetti which looks specially good if the car has recently been polished.


The weather is much warmer and this Brooklyn inhabitant has exactly the right idea.
His cushion is lodged where the air conditioner will later be, from whence
 he can survey all that surrounds him.


Very warm last evening with mist in the air. The sort of day when
 the Empire State Building has its top stories removed.


Ah! the joys of blogging! Such a good way to meet people from all over the world.
Yesterday a lovely little envelope arrived from Isobel Bella Bheag in Scotland who makes the
most beautiful handmade cards. Her recent blog posts have been about a visit to
the islands off the coast of Scotland where they make tweed. A very different world indeed.

The Season Continues


How much fruit and veggies can one possibly look at?
As far as I'm concerned, quite a lot.
If I were patient, I'd make paintings.



So many apples.
The best are Winesaps - not pictured here. They are almost like Coxes Orange Pippins which we used to eat in England.
You can also bob for apples if you want to get very wet and frustrated.



There is something covetable about mini pumpkins.
Like kittens or puppies, one is driven by a wild desire to take them all home.
They are just so cute.
On principal, I'm against cute, however........
So I asked R. to choose just one.
It wasn't the one I wanted.



So we bought lots of apples anyway.
Apples to eat as is.
Apples for apple crumble
Apples for apple sauce
etc etc.



The mini-pumpkin sits on the dining table.
When Isabel comes to tea, we set out the "Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards".
We read the complicated instructions and are slightly bewildered.
Though printed in China,(surprise), we decide the designs are originally German.
