rainy days and fridays?
i woke in the early morning to the sound of rain pouring down . . i fell asleep and woke again . . to the sound of rain pouring down. i suddenly remembered the wildflowers and spoke out loud, "oh no! i hope the flowers aren't getting too crushed!" when i saw them on my way to the laundry room (no, i still haven't gotten to the clothing . . just had an emergency load of blankets from a dog accident . .) they were a little droopy, but not too bad. i think they will bounce back. i also passed the roses, and they are looking full and beautiful. it's funny how we get two bloomings. sometimes i feel that new york city is becoming very tropical.
we had a field trip today! to the new victory theatre on 42nd street. we've passed it many times on our way to the new 42nd street dance studios for the girls' duncan rehearsals . . but we never acknowledged it, just always flew by it.
we went to see puss in boots with the tectonic theatre project and the gotham chamber opera. it was such a wonderful production. there was even an orchestra . . i was so surprised when all of a sudden they began tuning . . you couldn't see them so far down in the tiny pit.
the theatre was beautiful inside.
sweet little italian putti
it felt very cozy coming in on a rainy, wet day.
(somehow the bee print, which covered the seats, feels colonial to me, not very italian or venetian, like the facade)
obligatory subway train photo! i love the lighting in the pictures from the trains. gabriel is in the yellow raincoat and hat. a perfect outfit for today. morgana requested one later on when she was going out to her dance class. i said, "you have an umbrella!" she said, "but it's not as nice as a raincoat and hat. and i don't like carrying them."
i finally got to sit down with chanda to work on note reading. we need to do some everyday. if i keep this up with her, maybe i'll fulfill a life-long dream and be able to read it well! it's just something i've never taken the time to do.
k was a blur on her way out to meet friends!
tonight we had minestrone soup with salad. and now i better get some sleep. we finally have cooler weather and it's not sticky . . just damp. but i feel a little scratchy throat coming on, and i need to be up early with chanda for repertory and orchestra.

Dorina, maybe we both have a "New York State" cold. There is a nasty cold going around on campus here. Sometimes my husband brings colds back from campus, gives them to us, but never gets them himself. I hope you'll be feeling better soon.
