HALLOWEEN SEASON IS HERE!

First party - not that great - we ended up back in our garden.Maya is dressed as Raggedy Ann - and she is carrying the cherished ol' doll she inherited from her aunt Erica

Celebrating Victor

Odds and ends

My morning glories finally bloomed! The gogosari from Cati's seeds are growing very fast. Finding shoes to fit Maya was eventful enough to merit a photo!And I discovered Maya's school is inhavited by vampires (larger size will show it)

Also, on Saturday, we went to Governeur's island

This little island between Manhattan and Brooklyn - that had a military base on it since the civil war years. A few years ago, the feds sold it to NYC for $1 and the city finally decided to use it. There's an hourly ferry service to it (20 minutes wait to get on it, 3 minutes ride), and there are events going on - most notably an Odetta concert last Saturday

11th anniversary mushroom walk

Under protest I allowed myself to be schlepped on the DePew mushroom walk on a day with temperatures in mid 90s. I only gave in because it was on this walk, 11 years ago that Victor and I met (how comes we skipped the 10th???)
Not many mushrooms found - if you don'y count the many ganodermas - here's the gano now, drawn on the mushroom derma (upper right)...ID session and guests...More photos here

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Summer Solstice Garden Party

On a picture perfect summer day, lots of us - big and small celebrated the start of the summer in the garden. We wrote our wishes on a balloon that we let fly, we played music, played, schmoozed around. More photos here

Happy Summer solstice everyone!

We launched a balloon with our wishes on it

Happy Father's Day!

To all the fathers in the family!

Also, happy all our international children!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers!

My Mothers Day started a day in advance (as Maya went to a sleep-over)
So this morning I was presented with a "Queen Bee" card, a dark chocolate truffle hot cocoa canister, a little book of children's essays "My mom is the best mom" and a little kitchen witch - complete with a little book about magical foods and "Like Water for Chocolate".
And then, at the science fair, she potted a flower for me and decorated the pot.
