EVERY DAY'S A NEW DAY

 Constitutional
After Midnight this perfect bouquet
Gleaned from the garbage near Lexington Hotel
At a low point for the week when mail arrived with a lovely gold leaf missive and sweet note from Patricia Wallace Jones
Also, this interesting memoir from Nancy Erisman  The author, "using mostly short entries organized fro A to Z, captures the moments, observations and emotions that comprise (her) contemporary life."

Then, this beauty from Jude Hill!

I relaxed.
How could I remain locked into darkness when such friends are looking out for me? Caring is the natural cure for many little ailments.

Saturday
Tonight I will be watching (for the third or fourth time) a film that is so well crafted and compelling it bears repetition-"Remains of the Day"

 7PM

I have compartmentalized my brain in order to bear up under the onslaught of Local, National and International important political news. Yes, I do pay attention, then I switch channels for sanity and regularly do a walking meditation, calling it a constitutional. Double meaning intentional. This is the least important fact learned today.

However
Here's ten images of it and ten interesting facts about its history:

Sunday
7 PM Heat and humidity escalating with a hot week forecast. I spent the afternoon and part of this evening on 6th Street between Avenue D and 1st Avenue, observing locations, chatting with people I know, as well as strangers.

Curious about the Name
This is one famous building
Habitat for Humanity helped tenants rehabilitate it.

  1. I enjoyed your constitutional 'round the streets of the Big City in late summer!
    PS I can barely read the news...
