and autumn returns

the sky this evening, before the rain came and brought back the cool autumn air.

waiting for my shrimp tacos . . (the drink is a cucumber mint agua fresca).

evening light

the sky this evening as the nor'easter draws closer . . 

chanda prepared dinner while i was out taking photos. the wind is howling now and i can hear the rain starting. chanda supposedly has work in the morning . . i wonder what the storm will be like at that time.

sunset

the sky has been beautiful lately . . 

and the days have been warm and springlike this week (mid to upper 50's).

the cats have been mesmerized with the continuing work on the facade. it's picked up again now that the weather is warmer and it's not raining. i think they may still have to do the window to the left of this one, but the one you see here is finally completely finished. they relaid the outside sill today, after several days waiting for the waterproofing to dry (which smelled terrible and caused us to sleep in a different room).

evening walk

 
greg and i went for a walk along the river this evening . . 

and ate in a new place across from the whitney museum . . 

it's actually not a "new" place . . it's been here since before covid, we just had never visited.

the pizza was amazing . . deliciously tomato-y with a thin crust.

the rest of thursday . .

 back at home after car sitting with kendall, i took a few photos of chanda and pluto . . the author of girls and their cats had put out a call for photos on her instagram account and chanda wanted to send some in.

 everyone wanted lunch at the same time and a traffic jam ensued.

 pluto was waiting for  his lunch, also . .

 a beautiful evening sky . . 5:44 pm . .

 that's the empire state building poking its spire up on the right side of the pic . .

 dinner tonight was chicken with cauliflower and sautéed eggplant . . veggies from the green market again.

chanda's expression is reminiscent of korrina's and morgana's expressions from a dance rehearsal in 2011, which you can see here.
