Return to NYC - Last Spring's Market Color

That's better!!!!!  Oh yes.  I needed a couple more days of mental refreshing.

Now I'm back!  It has helped that we have had two mild days here in L.A.  With temps

creeping up on 70 degrees in the afternoons.  What I've really needed is a long good walk to blow out the cobwebs. Have any of you had one?  I've had a few brief sidewalk scoots to the post office and library, and several games of bracing tennis but not one of those soul cleansing walks.    (Putting it on the list!  Alongside the otherwise wearying must-do's that have crept back into the day parades.  Laundry again, refill the frig, bank, vet appointments, vacuum....... AGAIN!)

We've had a chilly holiday season.  Some years we fall off the plane from London on New Year's Day to find ourselves plunged into sultry 80 degree heat!  DEEEEELISH!  But this year we've had a solid 6-8 weeks of crispish weather.  Good thing I bit the bullet in late November and bought myself a warmer waterproof coat and lumpy sweater.  I need them! This year has also brought an inauguration of tall boots and thick tights.  Something it apparently took awhile for my brain to come to grips with after several years in tropical Hawaii.

I would be happy for spring......ANY.  MINUTE.  NOW.

Till then, guess I'll have to settle for these beguiling pics

from last spring's wanderings around NYCs Union Square Market.

It's strange.  I no longer feel much connection at all to that city.  I lived there a long time!  Have you ever had that feeling about someplace you once lived?  It seems such a foreign world to me now.  

Anyway, borrowing that Oscar Wilde line....."I love talking about nothing.  It's the only thing I know anything about."  

Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah................you know!  Sometimes, it's just like that.  Cheers!  It's almost the weekend again!
