nighttime moon flowers and dinner at meme

a moon flower found along washington street after walking along the river and traipsing through the site one garden . .

my friend christine came in from michigan this afternoon. she's from denmark and was visiting her sister in ann arbor. we met at penn station and after dropping her suitcases off at janet's, we headed over to meme (with janet) for dinner.

meme has delicious food and the dessert was truly special: molten chocolate cake and lemon tart.

and lots of seafood for the main meal . . 

we walked along the high line afterwards . . 

i still have my sandals on, but it's definitely starting to get cool tonight. there was a breeze and i was chilly in my sweater. so glad fall is coming!

  1. I have never seen or heard of a moon flower. So amazing. Does it only bloom at night? Enjoy your company. You look so small in comparison to Christine. I bet pretty soon it will get cold by you as it has gotten here. Have a wonderful Sunday!!

    1. it is finally cold here!!! i have my winter pajamas on and a pair of socks.

      yes, moon flowers only bloom at night. they are a form of night blooming morning glories and are indigenous to tropical and subtropical areas of the americas . . so florida would be a natural home for it. isn't it lovely.

      and christine looks small compared to janet!

    2. Thanks for the explanation. I guess it is true about the height of all of you.
