Pine nuts pressed into the almond flavored cookie. One of my favorites. Bought Bleecker Street Rocco’s Pasticceria last week when I was at my sister’s.
I have a recipe from a former colleague’s mother. Here’s the link to the 2012 blog post.

Sometimes you drive over a bridge named in honor of someone. You might glance at a sign with a name along a stretch of highway.
A plaque.
In memoriam.
A tribute.
A place named to honor, to remember.
It might be a soldier, a notable person, a hero.
I wondered about the name on this street sign- Police Officer James P. Leahy- when I took the picture but didn’t look him up until tonight

I saw this sign when I was visiting my sister
Here’s what I found
“Officer James Leahy was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks while attempting to rescue the victims trapped in the World Trade Center.”

We’ve had a lot of rain lately.
“Forecast models for May suggest roughly 98-158mm ((3.8\- 6.2\) inches) of rain, indicating a potentially wetter-than-average May”

Steve captured their little heads popping up, waiting for breakfast. The Robin family renewed their lease this year.
They love the sleds hanging on the back wall of the garage.


From Whitney Museum window















We heard the piano music through the open window of my sister’s fifth floor apartment across the street. So when we were at street level, I snapped a few shots.
Sorry, no audio.





Carnegie Museum of Art this afternoon with my sister Mary.
This huge sculpture was just inside the museum, opposite the entrance doors
