green market morning . . and a london update

 the tiger day lilies are always in bloom in time for my birthday . . 

 since i've been feeling so dizzy, i asked greg to help me carry home the veggies and fish and the pie(s!) from the green market this morning . . 

he's very good about wearing his mask . . i pull mine down when no one is about . .

 morgan and jenny attended the black trans lives matter march in london today. i think they marched from wellington arch, near hyde park, to parliament square.


 


we must all take care of each other.

families belong together

greg and i attended the families belong together demonstration today. it was very warm and we waited for the march to begin in the shade at foley square. everyone is so creative with their signs! (i  finally put up the pics from the march for our lives demonstration here).

i loved the special dance this aztec family performed before everyone stepped off to march.


i think everyone found it especially comforting and energizing; good positive and loving energy.
























 i didn't make it over the bridge. the sun was too hot and i didn't have my hat, but greg did. it's never too hot for him (maybe that's from having grown up in florida without air conditioning).

 i met him in the park at 12th street and 7th avenue at around 3 pm.

leftovers from last night for dinner . . greg was tired and fell asleep immediately after eating (though he's up again now, and contemplating a trip to the grocery store for ice cream!)

march for our lives

 it was really a beautiful day for a demonstration, not too cold and not too hot, with lovely sunshine. we walked uptown from 42nd street, along broadway and amsterdam avenue to the museum of natural history at 80th street where we passed lines of people waiting to join the march on central park west.

 we went further north to about 84th or 85th street and then joined the march as the crowd turned right onto CPW . . 















 here we're passing the natural history museum . . 



 and the new york historical society . .


 and fourth unitarian universalist church . . 



 the dakota . . 



 






















don't forget to vote!

 we then walked from 34th street along 7th avenue to 12th street and greenwich avenue . . 

 for coffee at the village den restaurant . . 

 and omelettes.

it was very sunny . . 

it felt great to be back in the neighborhood.
