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.

autumn afternoon

at 2:19 pm the sun was over the equator and northern and southern hemispheres received the same amount of light. i spent the first afternoon of autumn at union square admiring peppers and eggplants and the quiet busyness of a monday market.

i have cauliflower and rosemary for soup (a recipe shared by my neighbor) and plenty of prune plums for a plum cake . . 

and plenty of apples (and a nectarine) . .

september's fruits grow good to see

on pear and plum and apple tree.
