Sunday in the City

October 23, 2022 at 7:25 am by Claudia

I finished this puzzle yesterday morning – Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. I have another one on the way and it should arrive while I’m in NYC today.

I mowed several sections of our extended lawn yesterday. It felt good to get out there and mow but pushing through all the leaves took a bit more “oomph.”  There’s still quite a bit to mow and then…we’ll see if we have to mow again. We’re getting rain for the next couple of days so we might well have to.

The other day, a woodpecker flew right up to one of the windows in the den and looked in. I said hello. Then he flew up into the maple tree.

I’m writing this early as I have to get ready to head on into the city for a 2 pm matinee of A Man of No Importance. I’m looking forward to seeing it again because I love this production so much and also because the director, John Doyle, makes a lot of changes during previews and it’s been almost two week since I’ve seen it. It will be exciting to see those changes.

Another day of wearing a mask for 7+ hours. But I’m happy to do it.

Thanks for all your lovely responses to the interview! I really appreciate each and every one.

Okay. I have to start getting ready.

Stay safe.

Happy Sunday.

    good for you about all that mowing. hopefully it didn’t bother your back.

    also, that puzzle looks fun. hope you have another one ready to enjoy.

    hopefully we will get rain in the next day or so, too. an actual “thunderstorm” has been predicted! :)

    Sounds like you have a fun day ahead of you. I’m thinking the colors will be amazing on the drive. I am so in awe of the puzzles you do. I don’t have the patience to do any kind of puzzle, but my husband loves them. A beautiful day here in Phoenix. Started to celebrate my birthday early by going out for breakfast. Tomorrow is the real day, but the whole fam is going out for pizza tonight. So much to be grateful for. Have a safe trip.

    I missed your post yesterday, but read it today. What a very nice thing to happen!!! He certainly seems to be such a nice person. And, obviously very appreciative of your hard work. Glad people brought it to your attention!!!

    Hope your travels were safe and relatively uneventful today. Did the show have many changes in the 2 weeks since you last saw it? I’m sure it is fun to watch the progress and know you are a contributor! I am sure you are happy to be home after a long day. Have a good week and take care.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
