working in central park

at 10 am we were at 80th street in the park to spread two large piles of mulch around. it was a big group of us today. there were so many helpers that i didn't need to work very hard and, thankfully, i didn't get a blister like last time. morgana did, however. she kept swinging that pitchfork. gloves might have helped.

the day was amazingly warm. seventy eight degrees! it felt like june the way the sun was beating down on us.

chanda did a lot of wheelbarrow work . .



we left the park around noon, and walked home from the subway along west 11th street. the pear trees are blooming and their dusty scent filled the air. i feel like they're blooming a whole month early.

people's gardens are looking beautiful with all the flowers that have been planted . . one person has their plot covered with grape hyacinth . .

another person has all tulips . .

we ran into janet and gael! they were on their way to gael's swimming lesson at the mcburney Y.

pear blossoms . . chanda brought some home to put in a bowl of water on the table.
