Surprise Find by Granddaughter West Village NYC

It was Tuesday morning.

She was jumping up and down and made me close my eyes as she guided me out the front door of my sister’s apartment building. Close your eyes, close your eyes. She was breathless.

She was so excited.

I opened my eyes and there was a couch at the curb.

Abandoned furniture. A favorite for the collection.

Three views

If couches could talk……

It was still there later in the day

Walk to the Water by artist Clementine Martinez

These colorfully painted spheres caught my eye as we walked to the Riverfront Park along the Hudson. here are a few examples.

“WALK TO THE WATER IN HUDSON SQUARE
The Hudson Square BID (Business
Improvement District) and artist Clementine Martinez have created a way-finding system that uses outdoor art pieces to take viewers through a historical walking tour of the neighborhood. The exhibit leads viewers to the river past 20 painted spheres on a path along Spring and Washington streets to the new crossing to Hudson River Park just south of the Google building at St. John’s Terminal. The artworks are accompanied by a digital guide that dive deeper into the events and places that inspired each artwork with members of the community sharing stories about the neighborhood” from the TriBeCa Citizen

Ice Cream Cone Guest Blog

Blog follower and good friend of my sister sent me this ice cream cone photo today.

I asked if she’d consider being guest blogger and she agreed!

Here’s what guest blogger Mary Dellin wrote-

I’m the devoted aunt who did a test run to the Statue of Liberty one week before her family visited NYC to learn what to expect. At the end, rewarded myself with an ice cream cone that briefly looked like the Statue’s torch. It melted quickly, dripping onto my pants. But it was delicious, and worth it!
