MY TERRACE IN AUTUMN

The view over Central Park was glorious this morning is the muted sunlight.  FIFTH AVENUE was glowing.  Just above the trees……on the left…….the house with the green roof………is where mayor Bloomberg lives.  He chose not to live in the Mayors Mansion on the Upper East Side during his 12 year reign.

Bow Bridge is in the lower right hand corner. Lots of weddings take place on this bridge.

Will I use this CUCURBITA to make PUMPKIN PIE?  No.  I buy it in a can at Whole Foods.

I thought a bird might built a nest in the basket!  NOT!  The mockingbird chose my holly bush instead.

My Viburnam is not a happy camper.  A CARPENTER BEE bore into the trunk…….ate out the insides………and my poor little tree will have to get chopped down tomorrow.

The front terrace is still somewhat green………very wierd for the middle on November.
