For this week’s corner view, we were supposed to give a little peek into the Great Outdoors around our ‘hood. It pretty much poured all of last week, but there was a break on Saturday. We hit the park for some playtime and sped around town on our scooters to the annual planting in Duane Park, the tiny little park on one of the most stunning blocks in New York City.

I imagine that photo with the red bridge, the photo with the blue, and the photo of the yellow of the python all hanging together framed perfectly on the wall. Great shots.
p.s. Did the yellow snake bring Britney Spears along too?

Wish you luck with your basil: I transplanted mine today, and can’t wait to make fresh pesto (can you get pine nuts over there?)

That´s indeed some snake….that young man is my hero….I wouldn´t touch it for a million dollar! (I think)
Have a great day in NYC, Jeannette

caitlin, that actually IS the snake from the britney spears video. the little boy who is petting him has a very in-the-know mum, and she told me. only in new york!
francesca, we do in fact have pinenuts here, but most are imported from other countries. you can read more about the plight of the american pinenut here:

we use half walnuts/ half pinenuts in our pesto. i hope that doesn’t offend you italians! it’s just that pinenuts are so expensive here that we have to stave off some of the expense.
