out & about

The weather looked 'iffy' so Toonman took a pass on walking 

After John beautified™ me
despite a mistake in appointment time 
(second time this week, it might really be me not them)
my bad 
I hit Zabars  
Shrimp salad, cheddar cheese and Chopped Liver for him 
blueberries, tuna and chicken salads for m  
Ice cream for us both  


Schlepped home only to head back out to meet my friend Wendy for a late lunch  

On the way the skies opened
 the temperature dropped 
then 
pouf
 it was back to sunshine
 soft white clouds in a deep blue sky

Unbelieveably 
I cant tell you where we ate 
I know it was on Columbus at 83 
we shared a lovely tuna with artichoke on ciabati bread
I had a 'wild greens' salad with orange slices, rasperries, and avocado  

After lunch Wendy had to stop into a little bodega 
I waited outside with this handome guy 
who wagged happily to see Wendy
 his person just behind her


While I was getting this shot 
a woman approached me 
she said:  
You needed to get a photo of 
my
dog


This is Myles
he's a happy guy


After taking leave of Wendy
I walked across West 81 St
this house on the north side of the street 
always stops me

Look closely at the rooftop



On the walk home 
I took my favorite 
route 

78th Street 


stopping to admire these window boxes


At Amsterdam Avenue
 I stopped at
Luke's


 where they sell
fresh from Maine
lobstah rolls


bon appetite!
