here's a purple leaf plum tree, or cherry plum. it's sweetly fragrant with a beautiful honey scent. i took the photo yesterday in st. luke's garden after picking up some groceries from brooklyn fare.
the weather has been sunny and warm and i think everyone feels a freedom from wearing heavy coats, scarves and hats; and all are out enjoying the air. today was warmer than yesterday and the temperature went up to 79 degrees. it was supposed to rain this evening and we had a few drops, but mainly a cooler breeze just came through and it's now down to 62, which i'm sure everyone is happy about. we're all very particular and don't like it too warm and almost 80 F is too warm for april 14th.
i cleaned up around the apartment today - dusted and vacuumed and did the bathroom . . fixed the april cornell apron my sister gave me for christmas by raising the button on the neck strap higher and worked on the wave of change blanket. i called the furnace people again as we need to get a new hot water heater for the house, but so far a salesperson hasn't gotten back to me. this is the third time i've called them . . should i take the silence personally?
morgana sent some pics from london . . an excursion to a tea cafe in greenwich occurred tuesday with eva's three girls . .
i think they had such a wonderful time . .

and everything looks so delicious.
a sweet chick having its photo taken on a teacake - a gift from flora to morgana.
it all looks so lovely . .
including the thames under a beautiful blue sky with veronika in the distance (i think they had fun balancing stones - eva has more pics on her blog).

it's maundy thursday and i listened to montauk community church's evening service which they livestreamed at 8 pm.
st. peter's chelsea also livestreamed their service.
So nice to see these pictures here! Maybe you have to switch companies for a hot water heater? Are you getting a gas one? The one we have is gas. That picture of the blossom is so pretty! You accomplished quite a bit.
