for breakfast i had cinnamon toast and oolong wu-yi tea (it was very good eva).
greg and i walked to the newly renovated bed, bath and beyond store to buy vacuum cleaner bags and water filters.
it's amazingly spacious inside now, though i think some locals will miss the variety of salads and sandwiches in the new cafe, along with the cereals, teas and coffees they used to sell and which we no longer saw (perhaps they will add it later).
walking home we passed these bright pink flowers . . i think they are morning glories.
free books . .
we decided to stop for dinner at bus stop cafe, and shared eggplant parmigiana and spaghetti . .
some musicians passed by . .
and so did the bus . .
I love pink and purple flowers! And the music sounds nice!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say: we have free books in what we call public book shelves. Almost each and every city and tiny village has at least one. Everyone can bring books there for others to read or take books home to read them. Do you have that in N.Y as well?
DeleteThat sounds wonderful! We don't have it specifically for each city/town as with you, but we have it on a smaller scale, i.e. our laundry room has a shelf of books to share and the lake in my sister's town has a small enclosed wooden shelf in which people leave books . . and then we have our public libraries in each neighborhood.
DeleteThat sounds nice! We have a library in our town but it is a very small one and has not that much variety of books. I do like the public book shelves I don't need each and every book in newly printed. There are some that are important to me these books I buy in a shop.
DeleteBed, Bath, and Beyond has cafés? I am glad you liked the tea and thanks so much for your pretty card!
ReplyDeleteAre those flowers a low kind of morning glories? Ours always grow really tall.
DeleteTrue, they aren't climbing along the fence like morning glories do . . maybe a type of petunia? Though they didn't have that petunia aroma.
DeleteI'm not sure if all Bed, Bath and Beyond stores have cafes, but ours did . .
To me petunias always smell like cemeteries. I guess they are used a lot in cemeteries in Germany. I don't actually like the smell.
DeleteYour Bed, Bath and Beyond is very modern, I have to say.
