Update-with pictures!

Things have been going well here in Brooklyn. Way back in April L’s sister came for a visit and I neglected to publish a photo of our time with her. This was taken at the Brooklyn Flea, a new flea market close to our neighborhood that specializes in cute/trendy hand made things. Especially things with owls printed on them. Owls are the must-have image this season.



Soon after K’s visit (which was wonderful, as always), was L’s birthday. We had a party at a local bar and tons of people showed up. L is a very popular girl. Here is a photo of her birthday cupcakes just before they went into the oven. They were chocolate, frosted with cream cheese frosting or coconut pecan icing. We don’t have any pictures of them when they were all dressed and ready because we had to run out the door to the party.



Things in the garden are going well. Here is a picture of the radishes. Looking good, huh? I am really proud of them. Everything else is growing right along as well.



This tomato is one grown from seed. It will produce heirloom tomatoes, which I am really excited to eat. Delicious!



Here is an aerial view of my garden. The green bags at the bottom are the strawberry bags that helped drive me into the Strawberry Fever of Winter '08. I will hang them in a few days, once the plants’ roots have gotten established. What you may not be able to tell from this picture is that we have 46 strawberry plants growing on our fire escape. Yes!



This photo reminds me of another one…



This is an aerial view of Martha Stewart’s garden. They look pretty similar to me.

And finally, here is Hazel. Boy is she is cute.
