Our friend -e- has come into town with her daughter -r-. I must say that eight year old -r- is all that is delightful in a child. She is charming, well-mannered and can amuse herself. I met them on Thursday at the Natural History museum which was, oddly, the first time I’d been in. Though I shouldn’t need to state it, whales are big.
After the museum, we wandered in Central Park for a while. The weather was unbelievable after a season of gray, winter blahs. Warm, with flowers blooming everywhere, it felt like Spring had truly arrived.
In the middle of the lake, a mass of turtles crowded on the only available rock to sun themselves. It was like watching New York’s housing crisis repeat in the animal kingdom.

That’s so crazy - look at this photo I took when I lived in New York! Almost identical. There are some others in that gallery too.
I love Central Park in the summer. Enjoy! (must make it out there this year)
I guess turtle-spotting should be a new sport.
Definitely. Extreme, mind!
Wasn’t -r- a clever child,
to pick such a wonderful
mother?

~ charming children,too
perhaps.
I think that’s absolutely true.
