Crabapples and Waves

 

Today I worked from home, and I picked some beautiful crabapples in our neighborhood.


Travalon and I walked on Governor's Island, and the wind was so intense that the waves were enormous.


That was my photo of it. Here is Travalon's.


I was surprised to see what looks like a dandelion in bloom.

Otherwise it was a quiet day, but I did watch someone I know on Jeopardy! She came in second. That is now the third person I know who's been on the show.

Here are some more screenshots from social media of a train that went through our town.






















There were even more, but I believe I have already posted the others. It's kind of fun how you see the same graffiti over and over - they become like old friends.

Travalon's Haul

 

Today I worked from home, and Travalon and I debated taking another boat ride, but he had a dentist appointment so we'd be cutting it close to his time to leave for work, plus it was windy. We ended up walking on Governor's Island. Here are some photos.




Travalon continues to get things delivered that he ordered with his gift card. He got this poster yesterday.


And also these little Matchbox train engines from the Great Western Railroad in Britain.


Today he got another poster, but it wouldn't lie flat so I'll wait until he hangs it to take a photo. He also got a Chessie the Cat sign.


Today Travalon made a new friend at work.



It's a capybara! Oh, I forgot to mention that he brought home curder burgers from Culver's for lunch. I have one every year - just one, because they are a cholesterol bomb. We also had mint cookie custard. So then on my afternoon break I picked some crabapples from my favorite tree to have some plant matter, only this time I chewed on the magic berries first so the crabapples tasted sweet instead of tart. They were really good that way, but I love them tart too. I forgot to mention that yesterday Hardingfele and I also foraged, eating prickly pear fruit and crabapples on campus.

Here are screenshots of train graffiti from a video on social media of a train that went through town this morning:




















It's been a while since the train has been through our neighborhood. Hopefully it comes back soon.
