The theme this week for Jane’s Corner View was to show exactly what we saw at 7:45 P.M. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sad as it is to admit it, 7:45 is very very late in the day for us. We’re wrapping things up, heading back toward home for bath and bedtime for the kids after our evening walks and, of course, ice cream runs.
Delicious Daddio and I then get to hang for a couple of hours before our own bedtime-which usually means that we stay up way too late considering the two little faces we’ll be seeing well before 7:45 AM.
But, these moments outside- how can we forget that Manhattan is an island, that ice cream tastes even better when you share it, and that, even here in Tribeca, the feel of grass on your bare feet is one of the ultimate summer treats.
It’s 7:45. Do you know where your children are?

Mmmm… ice cream and evening walks… sounds delightful. Often people forget that it's the everyday, common things that add such beauty to life.

What a great post. I love the pictures and it is so true that once the kids are in bed, as tired as you maybe it's nice to have that time to yourself and your other half.

Yes. . . unfortunately wide awake! I envy folks who manage to keep up the early bedtime routine with children. We are hoping to master it when school starts again.

You're so right about the feel of grass on bare feet and summer grass and The Cityscape in the background are a perfect combination!
Thanks for the grape tomato issue, I was beginning to wonder if I'd been sold some GMO plants:)!

ok, jane, how about this…ice cream tastes better when two people get two of the most delicious flavors and share them both. how does that sound?
