Christmas Party

The Christmas Party invitations are out, the menu has been planned, the decorations are up and now I get to enjoy the beautiful company of my friends this coming weekend.

When I was little, I hated my surname, but I have come to love it, especially this time of year. 

A weekend in the country

 Waking to the sound of raindrops jumping from leaf to leaf and birds singing their "good mornings" is a really great way to start a Sunday.  

Heirloom tomatoes and fresh-from-the-farm-corn make me think of summer dinners at Grandma's.  

While I love sunsets in the city, the quiet surrounding a country sunset makes the experience more than just pretty sight.

Colors in the skyline

Every once in a while there are days that make me fall in love with the city even more.  Accidentally getting to see the sun setting over the Brooklyn Bridge just made me smile.

This made me smile.

Simple Pleasures

I love this - it's since been painted over & all evidence of its existence has been removed from the site.  However, I still have this photo to appreciate it.  

Notice that he's blowing love out of his tuba; come on - that has to make you smile.
