just a five minute walk from my front door. Here is where I go for my evening ramble. That after dinner jaunt for alleviation. It’s nice going every day because you can check in with the seasons. Right now daffodils are everywhere. Mainly because the kind Dutch people have been sending us daffodils by the boatload every spring since 911. Very sweet of you but please stop. They are not indigenous flowers here and they mess things up. But I do enjoy seeing them regardless. And the crocuses. The magnolia trees are blossoming right now too, but there’s none in Morningside. I do have a big one right outside my back door. And Central Park has a whole stretch of them on the upper east side. I’ll be visiting them tomorrow. Watch for my post.

I have been going to the Easter parade for decades— on and off. Every time I do go, I put it back to the top of my list as things I should prioritize. A completely unorganized parade that spontaneously appears every year like a magical comet. It’s always a completely different cast of characters. A cornucopia for photographers and lovers of rebirthing. The rain didn’t dampen anyones spirits. When the end of the world comes, New Yorkers will be dancing in the streets.

Every year I look forward to the magnolia tree out back in full blossom. There was only one spring. It didn’t bloom. After a warm spell in March all the trees began to bud. Then a hard frost hit and killed them all. All over the city in every park the same thing. I was sure it was the end of the world. Or at least the beginning of the end of the world.
