Howdee all,
It was a whirlwind trip to NYC, I left a limp noodle, tired and drained.
We came to the city to visit our daughter, go to her graduation, and help her plan and enjoy her grad. party.
We met up with Birders from Twitter and Chirptracker, I saw Adam Lambert, we ate, We hiked, we ate, we gardened, we ate, we shopped for party goodies, we ate, we spent time with family, we ate, we walked Central park, we ate.
It was fun, it was exhilarating, it was exhausting…and I didn't gain weight…tee hee
We always stay at the only RV park around, Liberty Harbor Marina and RV park. The location is great. We are in Jersey City, we overlook the harbor, 
Boats
and The Statue of Liberty
In the grit and the grime a few birds make their home..
If you click on the photo below…about eight Mallards are using the concrete and asphalt pond.
Barn Swallows perch on boats.
Distant foggy view of NYC from the RV Park
Every day we took the Holland tunnel to the city..
This view taken from one of the many Whole Foods markets in the city.
The meat lovers in the family always go to the Carniegie Deli for Pickles
I had matzo Ball soup
Here you are sickstas..click on these masterpieces of dining..
( Samarrah is our NY veggie restaurant guru..she knows the best places to go!).
Jeff and I shared an amazing beet salad and a Seitan dish that looked and tasted like Peking duck..the crisp duck skin and the moist inner…amazing.
We drive to Brooklyn most days to visit Samarrah.
A garden is growing in Brooklyn..
Our daughter is thrilled…she has a garden plot …a short walk from her home in Brooklyn. She opens the lock to her Garden oasis.
This is her big boy Shem..he would love to visit the garden..Samarrah is going to get the big boy a harness and let him visit.
Look at this green loveliness in the city. A community garden..in a city of Brick and Concrete. A nurturing place.
Roses and Fences
Samarrah’s Garden plot before our weeding.
Weeding, removal of bulbs and potting them up..
The finished product..tomatoes, peppers, collard, pole beans, cucumbers, swiss chard, radish, beets and love…
Robins nest in the Garden Oasis and raise their young
We walk along the river in Brooklyn in the evening..and watch the big city across
the water…lights flickering…sun setting…
The Brooklyn bridge on the right…carries us from the city to Samarrah…
To her home in the city…and her piece of green.
Goodnight Big Apple…
the sun sets over the glow of the city…
