Smelling Oranges in NYC

A favorite part of the bike ride home everyday: this path of Cherry Blossoms. Had to stop to grab a couple pictures today.🌸 (at Riverside Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcUKXCtM0Z_uK1IWwHIRGMgGbhSOUzeFMeP9sg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunday night, when our still new apartment got to fill up a bit with our favorite people and felt a little bit normal again and like home. The giggles, the conversations, the drinks and food, the absolute silliness, and letting the clock run without care.💚 Can’t wait for the next round! https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQbL5lrEOo11dcQpaUBVu5ay6sHvAqX_Pykao0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Post-church Cherry Blossom pictures when I could actually stop and take a few pictures but the blue sky was gone and angry clouds were rolling in.🤷‍♀️🌸 (at Sakura Park, NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQaQIerSg7ysA-BkqZq5URW6Gmitf3tvrlCIA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Such a bizarre weather day… rain, sun, rain, hail, cold, sun then dark clouds…. Spring blooms are determined though. Loved these white flowers backdropped by this light pink brick.💕 (at UWS, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJFrGfOI7oTMkgKrleChcIgcV_qNM5X6VGXPM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Slipped in to this puppet exhibit Friday, just before it closed on Sunday. Been so long since I was in a museum! (at Museum of the City of New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDOCApLE3ytIQt-K5vFuT0H5SmkwaNyUllgWU0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The hand-painted signs are so cool and so harsh.🤣 (at Sugar Hill Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-9FTWOchf3Vz_x2qCDcePc8dJ05gAxZgBWqI0/?utm_medium=tumblr

A few favorite buildings from around the neighborhood on Friday. Looking for beauty everywhere.😍 (at Sugar Hill Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-7k5XOj6R4v49cvXDVXPx5wrPIx2S-mfxotc0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Highly enjoyed watching so many dogs with their owners this morning. This one may have stolen my heart.💚 (at Joe Coffee Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb88YmjM2xY9W_jJRev9ZTQb1wg-pXgZsNzdtU0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spotted these beauties on W 110th that I’ve never seen before since we’re usually passing this stop underground. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cblrq0hMpICtLHGixNTw8AwMXnhfdRVXnQP8PU0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had a subway mishap that resulted in the girls and me walking a bit when I picked them up from theater this afternoon. It was a bit chillier than we planned, but if we hadn’t had to walk an unusual route, we would not have spotted these plant laden windows. Impressed by their determination and resilience to survive under such scaffolding.💚🪴 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cblq4PpsAjSf1-MXDNm2ogzb-XyFES5FdTC3bE0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Taking the subway more often lately and one bright spot is the one stop that is above ground.💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8lY7nM32v4x-mF-x4tgEW1GK9wHmlJk93A1M0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Took a walk yesterday to hit a favorite playground and I insisted we stop to try this Columbian coffee and pastry shop. So good! Several pastries are naturally gluten free 🎉 and the baristas were lovely. Will be going back! (at Salento NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaS4RB3PEnkDRBSEbADWzqk2MLgIUd897wcJqA0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Why does the missing plaster look like a person? Surely it has to be on purpose, right? I’m not the only one who sees it, right? Right? (at UWS, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZvIod3s43k0K_8gr__FEZztHktYB5bAmMYRto0/?utm_medium=tumblr

This hotel is quite ready for Valentine’s Day.❤️ (at Harlem Vista Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsmj5yMIRJF96iaFyoyRHk-5EDzEXvF2JWVyc0/?utm_medium=tumblr
