morgana, chanda and i walked the high line to chelsea market this afternoon.
it was a beautiful day.
we were on an expedition to get a pumpkin.
on the way there i overheard a family discussing the bird they were observing in a tree along the path. they were sure it was an ovenbird . . taking a break in it's winter migration. i tried to get a picture of it (it did look just like the photo in the link . . impossible to tell with my own photo!) . . and i recorded the sighting on my phone.
on the way home, i stopped to once again search for the ovenbird. instead i discovered these two sparrows cleaning themselves in the fountain water.
chanda says these are michaelmas flowers.
paddington bear on the high line!
morgana made dinner this evening.
she was making soup . . i asked her, why in the frying pan?
ahh! soup!
she made farro soup with sausage and carrots and celery. and then i made a fennel and spinach salad with toasted walnuts and pomegranates (chanda picked out the pomegranates to put on the salad).
two of the little pumpkins from chelsea market . .
Yes, there are sometimes called Michaelmas flower :).
