NYC May 2010: day one

ah, the first cafe Americano in NYC.
resting on a park bench near our hotel.
i wish i was drinking one right there now...

good morning

sitting down to write in the presence of birthday cards, daisies, and coffee in one of my new Starbucks nesting tea cups. bliss...

He is risen.

my office this week in preparation for Easter...

the photos are dark, because it wasn't fully lit, but here is our cross.

day at the market: part 5

colorful sign in a cheese shop.

had i not already had two double americanos, i would have gotten coffee here...

cookies should not live in captivity...

our view from Wanda's Pie in the Sky, where we drank coffee and ate pie.

it was a very good day...

day at the market: part 4

fish store in Kensington Market. i love the blues,
and how the graffiti continues on with the theme...

i asked chris to stand in front of the graffiti.
he was very obedient. thanks, chris!

this alley looked so peaceful and pretty, had it not been so cold and rainy, i would have been tempted to go sit on one of the chairs... and drink more coffee.

is there anything more truly perfect than bread and pastry?

standing in the midst of such perfection was blissful.

if this doesn't make you want to visit the St. Lawrence Market, i'm not sure anything will!

love, love, love potatoes.

i didn't even realize that carrots came in colors other than orange!


i didn't buy any, but the pretty flowers were very tempting...


more pretty flowers.
