very simple

Today was the last of our ridiculous early summer (it hit 92 degrees yesterday!), and I spent another good portion of the day just wandering around my neighborhood. I actually ran into my aunt and uncle, who were sitting by the lincoln center farmer’s market, just chilling in the good weather, so it was nice to catch up with them for a while.

On my walk, I noted two things. One, these trees bloom with white petals all over the place, and are very pretty, but within a week or two, all of those petals will fall off the trees, blanketing the sidewalks and creating swirling clouds of pollen. That’ll be fun.

Second, there was a brass band and a dance troupe at lincoln center. a bit weird in the middle of the day on a Thursday. But the fountain was flexing its muscle today, shooting up much higher than normal (according to a New Yorker article a few months ago about the redesign, they can actually shoot something like 40 feet in the air, and the fountain was redone by the folks who did the fountains at the Bellagio).
