In A New York Minute

The week went fast, and I had nothing particular to say. Tomorrow we are having a birthday party for Mary M at my apartment. Lord knows how...

Mary's cleaning woman, Eneida, made this arrangement from flowers in her yard, including the lilacs.   And another:    

Tom and Michelle have arrived in DC and here are two pictures from their first dinner. Mary writes: Did you ever go to Crisfirld's?...

Melissa says that all the rain has made things lush and green. Here's her garden:  

She writes: Spring is soooo late here.  I decided to take a picture of my lilac bush so that you'd understand why I am so so jealous ...

Mary sent these photos of her lilac (which I love) and her dogwood tree. I believe dogwood in NY State official tree.

Tareyn was here and did her thing. I am totally happy with the results. Here's what my garden looks like, and it will be fun to watch it...
