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.

Note How Much is Going On

The puff of smoke over the Rabbis head while he tries to dial his cell phone is from the young Chinese mans cigarette. He's hidden by that woman passing out of frame far right. Foreground left is a Father/caregiver wearing a tee shirt with cartoon characters I don't recognize and wheeling a sleeping child. The ad inside the bus shelter carries the ominous message: "I saw nothing"

((((whew))))

Domestic Disturbance Tuesday

 10:30PM
The thunder-footed one and her roommate have returned.
My bath wall above the toilet is slowly streaming rivulets of water.
They won't answer their apartment door.
The Super responds. The leak stops.
This is not the first time.
He will return tomorrow to search for a leak within their wall.

 Framed 1906 drawing by unknown artist that hangs there is okay,
only a bit damp on the wood backing.
((((whew))))

Wednesday
Waited from ten to noon, then informed the Super, left the door locked open and ran some local errands

 Got two audio books at the Library
1. "The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland"
by Catherynne M. Valente
2. "I've Got My Eyes on You" by Mary Higgins Clark 

 Windowsill Basil is ready to Reap

'Caterfly'
from Jude who 'didn't forget' me.

Two hours of meditation at the Zendo
Spied this fledgling out the side window

 Goodnight
