April is my favorite month and not just because it’s my birthday month. Everything is in bloom in New York and Paris and there are some great new exhibitions and shows and films to watch on the days that are rainy. N.B. I started this post before I left for Paris but was too busy […]
The temperature in New York has been vacillating wildly lately but at least it looks like it will be beautiful on Saturday. I’m going to try to take another walk on Park Avenue to enjoy the tulips and cherry trees at their peak before rain arrives on Sunday. That actually works out perfectly so I […]
“April is the cruellest month, breedingLilacs out of the dead land, mixingMemory and desire, stirringDull roots with spring rain.” – T.S. Eliot I don’t think even T.S.

It’s been one of those days. Since I didn’t get a regular post up, I’m leaving you with a few shots from my instagram that illustrate that spring has finally sprung in New York. About time too. “Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers.” […]

Spring makes me want to fling open every door and window to let the fresh air inside. It makes me want to bring the outdoors in and buy flowers everyday. Most of all, it makes me want to be outside as much as possible. Well, except when it’s cold and rainy like today but I’ll […]

Tomorrw is April 1st and you know what that means, April showers that will hopefully bring May flowers. It’s actually already raining in New York today so most likely everyone will be pulling out their trench coats.
