notes from the commute

The weather has been lovely. I do think we'll slide from winter directly into 80+ degrees of summer but the mornings have been cool and perfect for walking to the office. Or walking in my neighborhood - I've been walking.
I've been wearing my Vans and, when I remember, I cut down 28th street to see what's blooming.












I really wanted some of those lilacs but they were expensive and large and heavy.
Later that morning the CEO showed up with these.
For me.




I wish you could smell them.
And it wasn't my only present last week - he brought these too -



Ramps. From his, uh, ramp patch.
Delicious with pasta and oil.

Last night K was at archery so I got to walk home too...




I love this time before it's too hot to enjoy being outside.

Across from me, on the train, was a lady with a fabulous LV scarf. She was a wonderful distraction as the lady across from me was enjoying removing her tooth-cap and playing with it on her tongue. I thought she was eating a Lifesaver or gum and was horrifically transfixed when I realized it was her front/bottom tooth.
I really wanted to tell her to stop. We might all take a moment to think of how we look as we sit for a train ride.




Dinner.
