What Happened?

It was so nice to go for a walk today, I finally feel better and it finally is starting to feel like spring!! As I strolled along the Hudson, admiring my favorite trees I noticed purple ribbons. Upon closer observation I discovered they were on a cake, a half eaten- half smooched cake!

I'm not sure what happened, but my mind went wild with ideas and pretend stories! I hope the birds, the squirrels and the rats enjoy it!

A Snow Day

For those of you that know me, you know that I grew up in Buffalo and I love snow. Give me the white stuff any day over the gray concrete jungle that NYC becomes for 5 months out of the year!

I was so excited to see on the news last night that a storm was coming and was looking forward to going out and taking some pics. Well, sadly I have been sick and woke up still sick, so I decided to stay in.

I mourned the images I dreamed of last night; people fighting the snow on Broadway, children throwing snow balls, and other snowy images of Harlem. Instead I went about my day as normal, at the computer, and then I heard shrieking. Loud, high pitched shrieking, the kind of shrieking that can only be created by... little girls. I looked out of my studio window that faces a pretty bleak courtyard to find just what I heard, two little girls dressed in pastels having a blast on a snow day. These two screaming, shrieking pale pink and blue girls were the highlight of my snow day! Thanks!

Its amazing to me what NYC kids have to come up with as far as places to play. These two were thinking pretty creatively and it sounded as if they were having fun...but still, it was no match to the hill we used for real sledding, with real snow, growing up in Buffalo.
