warm days, a cafe visit and a card game

after the few chilly nights last weekend and the chilly autumn air of monday, this week it's been back to warm and humid summertime weather. the cats and i have felt quite soporific again (and it was a little difficult sleeping at night - no cool breeze!).

i did manage to walk cross town to visit with my friend sacha at cafe abraço. (it was such a nice visit and we caught up on all our news.) (i checked for chestnut honey at the health food store and at raffetto's, but neither place had it - here's hoping they replenish the supply soon!).

i walked home along houston street to see what was happening with the feast of san gennaro . . everyone was busy setting up for the grand opening which was this evening. greg and i hope to visit sometime next week.

michaelmas daisies at the garden on la guardia and houston . . 

it's a special garden as it was created in homage to the lost forests of manhattan by environmental artist alan sonfist.



this placard explains his concept titled "time landscape."

it was so warm this evening that i didn't feel like cooking . . so we just had sandwiches . . 

we're up to round four in our "may i" game. so far i've been in the lead . . here's hoping i can maintain this streak!

coffee, flowers and clothes shopping

 
chanda and i noticed two new friends with the black cat today when walking to abraço . . crows or ravens? ravens or crows?


hello fig tree . . we love you.






(i stopped at east village organic . . but they were out of chestnut honey. he said they would order it though!)




and now it's very late and i'm still up and about . . putting together dance music for the wedding. 

time for sleep . .

coffee and feverfew flowers

 
i walked to abraço today for their iced frappe and then walked home along 14th street.

everyone was wearing their knicks regalia as they made the finals and the city is in total go knicks mode.

feverfew in the union square green market. i love feverfew and chamomile flowers (they smell similar to me).

unfortunately, neither are good for the cats.
