A walk around a city park....at lunch time

Found an odd article about how to... Deal with Expired Milk - and that it may have more life in it than you may have thought? Not sure it helps me all that much, I'm trying to stay off sugar, and back off cheese a bit. Also I have a low dairy diet to begin with - so use mostly milk substitutes like almond/coconut milk. But it may assist someone else?

Another interesting tidbit - "Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are real-life friends who will be starring on Broadway as two friends searching for meaning in an absurd world. Waiting for Godot is the greatest play ever written about nothing. Nothing and everything. But mostly nothing. Seriously, nothing happens. Directed by Olivier Award-winning and Tony®-nominated visionary Jamie Lloyd (Sunset Blvd., A Doll’s House, Betrayal), this exhilarating, hilarious and deeply human new production of Samuel Beckett’s self-proclaimed “tragicomedy” asks all of life’s big questions—and answers none of them. It’s ridiculous! Life, and this play. But the wait is worth the wait." (Basically Bill and Ted do Waiting for Godot on Broadway. I read that play along with others by Becket in College, I had a college friend who loved Becket. )

It's sunny now. Blue sky. Trace amount of clouds. After six days of cloudy skies. It's rather lovely. Makes me appreciate Daylight Savings Time, because I get to enjoy it.

I bought some flowers at the grocery store - mainly lots of leaves, and some purple roses, and white and yellow baby's breath feathered in between. I split it into two vases, and put one in the bathroom window (for lack of another place to put it) and one in the living room window near my art studio. I have those old style deep windows that are almost floor to ceiling in my living room and bedroom, with deep window sills. Not deep enough to sit on, just deep enough to put a flower vase on.

Anyhow, went for a walk around Battery Park yesterday. It's partially open now - after about a year's worth of repairs, excavation, and remediation. It had gotten federal funds as a result of Hurricane Sandy, and finally got around to spending them.

Urban farm at the bottom of Manhattan. (Please note that the pictures don't last long because of some linkage issue between DW and FB. And I don't how else to upload photos - DW sucks in regards to uploading photos - it's the only thing I dislike about the platform.)




The Statue of Liberty stands beyond the park in the middle of New York Harbor, battle worn...but hanging in there.



Skyscraper on the opposite side of the park:



And the Freedom Tower, ironically just beyond...




Ah Spring is finally sprung in NYC.






And I leave you all with flowers, have a lovely evening...it is lovely here. The sun fading in the sky, against the budding trees in greens and reds. I love this time of day - early evening, twilight.
