a walk on a windy day


i headed downtown at around 11 am this morning to visit duane park patisserie for a lemon tarte to bring to our neighbor this evening (we were invited for dinner).

french bulldog alert . . 





up ahead is an orange compost container where i leave our compost that has meat and fish bones and dairy. it's goes into a city anaerobic digestion operator (either wet or dry) which produces biogas or digestate. i don't quite understand it (it's different from the vegetable composting that happens in the park) but you can read more about it on this website (if you like).



i couldn't resist having a cafe au lait and a hot cross bun (which was delicious). i'm also finally knitting a sock (it's been a few years). the tarte and a few other treats were in a bag at my feet.

beautiful witch hazel . . 

oh . . the wind . . 

it's definitely the month of march . .

thanksgiving


it was a very rainy drive to my sister's thursday morning, but all went well and we had a wonderful time together. we picked korrina up in queens and took the whitestone bridge across the sound (and also gave a ride to her co-worker whose cousin picked him up at my sister's house).
