thursday's walk

 it was still really hot today when i went out to meet korrina and pick up the vegetables.

 i walked along fifth avenue to 23rd street and passed someone putting the finishing touches on his artwork . . (i actually took this photo while talking with morgana on the phone . . which i'm surprised i was able to do--balancing the phone and the camera at the same time).

 well, since i was talking with morgana the whole time . . i ended up walking just a bit too far . . 

 which was actually fun as i discovered new places . . like this cafe/restaurant on lexington and 30th street . . 

and a huge fairway at second and 30th . .

 i'm always admiring how her hair looks with her t-shirts . .

 sometimes we get treated to the most amazing desserts by the pastry chef.

 working on her shisui . . we both lamented at how we need to be knitting on our rhinebeck sweaters . . since it'll be time for the sheep and wool festival in just two months. korrina needs to dye her yarn, but is waiting for a cooler day.

 walking back home . . 

 but stopping at eataly to try out their new pasta cafe with chanda . . (this is the metropolitan life insurance company tower at madison avenue and 23rd street, built in 1909).

 this is a very telling photo as chanda is in the process of buying morgana's airplane ticket home. i can't believe she's finally coming home. she'll stop first to see family in florida.

our dinner made with delicious lemon ricotta ravioli, and mint and pea ravioli from eataly.
