summer bouquet


a birthday flower flashback, bloomed for over a week, and as they faded, morphed into mini arrangements throughout the apartment....

birthdays for days

the best thing about a birthday that falls around a summer holiday is that you can continue celebrating it, for days and days and days!! 

flashback Friday to birthday lunch with my bff,  Queens of the Quarantine at the pandemic proof Crosby Hotel patio! 

thanks, jen, for the very best time!  xoxo




















jen and me!

case study

during quarantine, west end avenue is closed from 96th street to 86th street to offer more freedom of movement on the upper west side.

i do not walk down it often but when i do, i notice this young woman more or less in the same spot, standing in the crosswalk or sitting in the center island, usually wearing her denim jacket, always with her laptop and phone, possibly in a twist on wfh status...

i saw her yesterday and wondered if she is perhaps creating some kind of film documenting her day, but she is so focused and intent that i did not wish to disturb her by asking.
