on a grey wednesday

the forsythia is beginning to bloom . . 

korrina and i met a cafe we hadn't been to before, the ivy cafe. we tried it because they weren't crowded and they had good looking pastries and coffee. while there we ran into a homeschooling friend we hadn't seen in several years (delfina). it was nice to catch up.

i'm trying to finish my grounded poncho by denise bayron, and korrina is almost finished with petite knit's sophie scarf/shawl.

(it was another grey day, but fortunately it didn't rain on us.)

walking past washington square . . 

walking milly . . 

walking uptown with greg to our friend's gallery opening . . 

passing bryant park . . 

whose planters were filled with spring flowers . . especially hyacinths, which i could smell before i even saw them. 

at the gallery on 43rd street with tony and jeannette.

tony's art work: the melody in nature, and, a bowl of lindt.

another artist's work: four paintings . . 

and a beautiful drum which anyone could play.

it was so nice to see our friends and we hope to get together soon . . it's been awhile. i think we haven't gotten together since covid, 2020. i feel surprised to realize this . . i don't know how so much time could go by without visiting. 

walking home past the empire state building . . lost in the mist.

the met life tower at madison square park . . 

late night matzoh ball soup . . 

late night diners . .
