Every Sunday morning you can find me behind the Museum of Natural History
where local farmers set up their stands.
My friends always ask me “where do you get all those plants and flowers in your garden”.
I get them from my friend Al [at my local farmers market]………. every Sunday morning].

It was such a disaster watching my garden get destroyed………the tiles were leaking into the apartment below. My neighbor was annoyed!
The workers did a really great job………perfect pitch so the rain drains away………and doesn’t end up in my apartment.
Returned to a beautiful garden and ready for summer parties.

It was a 76º day in NYC. I decided to do a “beach” lunch and pretend I was on Sanibel Island in Florida.
I met a nice family from Sweden this morning at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. I wish I had invited them to lunch.
The green fish water pitcher…a gift from Margo…..it “gurgles” when you pour!
Platter from Bonwit Teller.
TUNE SALAD with watercress.
Okra….grapes and blue cheese.
Flowers from my local florist.

It wasn’t a heavy snowfall……….just a nice dusting of a few inches……….lightly coating the roof of the Dakota apartments.
The Great Blue Heron…..on my terrace….was Not amused!
And the few flowers that had survived……….now buried in the snow.
Autumn………..cool nights……warm days………has turned my terrace garden into a blaze of color.
CLICK on any photo………
The sunsets have been spectacular. I call them……”Montana Skies”

I love having my friends over to lunch……….and I think they love my food.
I enjoy preparing it………and picking herbs and veggies from my terrace garden.
For those friends that I have not included in these photos……..I will make up for it in my next luncheon blog.
You can also simply invite yourselves to lunch.
GIVE IT A MOMENT TO LOAD..…..100 PHOTOS IS JUST A BIT MUCH!
