meet-up

i met up with reina and sacha at cafe himalaya. i've had the above butternut squash chilly before. it's so good. we also had the bocha tibetan tea with salt, butter and milk.

i stopped at the yarn store to get another skein of lamb's pride bulky in wild mustard for my curtain tie-backs.

reina showed me the beautiful cowls she has been knitting.

she headed uptown on the bus and i headed crosstown . . 

meeting friends and stopping at the yarn store

 
i met sasha and reina this afternoon at cafe himalaya and afterwards reina and i stopped at downtown yarns . . i needed size 4 knitting needles.

a little hidden yarn creature . . 

i then stopped at whole foods for some groceries and as i was walking home, deychen texted saying she had too many bagels from murray's too good to go offer and would i please take a few (they had give her a whole dozen!).

so i met her at the jefferson market garden . . (you can see her in red through the branches, reading her book).

it was a warm and steamy day . . summer humidity isn't through with us yet.

rainy wednesday!

i guess spring is really here. i passed these beautiful daffodils on my way to meet sacha and reina at cafe himalaya. 

today was another very rainy day and i needed my umbrella coming and going. (especially going . . by the time i returned home after a walk with reina to fay da cafe for a chicken bun, i was very wet!)

i was really looking forward to rice pudding with golden raisins and yogurt . . 

and we all enjoyed a cup of warm butter tea.
