The Last of Its Kind

...at least this year.

Food is Life

When things get tough and sad and overwhelming, it's good to enjoy the small pleasures in life. This weekend Devon and I went to breakfast at the Brown Betty cafe on Grand Avenue. And the food looked so beautiful and tasted even better.


Those are salmon fritters, cheesy eggs and grits. Everything was SPICY.


Lemon waffles, carmelized bananas and chicken sausage. Oh the lusciousness.

SIGH.

Some Skies

Sometimes magnificent things happen in the sky here.



This is the view from a frequent train stop of mine. Smith-9th Streets on the F line.



Early morning out the WNYC building window by the elevators.

last year/this year

it's time for ell and vee birthdays, which in ell's part of the world means it's time for the farmington fair.last year our friends jeremy and annie came to visit to help celebrate, and (luckily) the very same thing will be happening this year.
cotton candy. watching cloggers with bank-lady hairdos do their thing in the same big barn where horses drag stuff around. the most people in one place that you ever see in farmington. the. demolition. derby.
it's all too exciting to even think about, so i've been looking at these pictures from last year's fair to help me get ready.

Monsters on 6th Avenue

This is the coffee shop right by Shelley's house. I couldn't decide which monster I liked the best, so you get to see both.

at long last, more of the fireworks pictures.
