Scenes From The Weekend

 (tiny, extra sweet strawberries)

 

(lilacs, sweeteners, stirrers, banana?)

(jars of daffodils everywhere)

 (colorful 68th street cinema art)

 (tea-to-go on a cold afternoon)

 (blueberry crumble)

 (brownstone stairs, upper west side)

(mirror portraits on Columbus)

 (thesis research...can you guess what I'm writing about?)

I took so many photos this weekend. This is just a handful. Admittedly, most were snapped to document escapades in the kitchen: strawberries are still my fruit of choice and I've been eating bowlfuls no less than twice daily for the past three days. We also baked bread again--I'll share the recipe soon. I accomplished more work than I anticipated on Saturday. I had hit somewhat of a wall with my thesis, and then all of a sudden, inspiration struck and I banged out 10 pages. Love when that happens.

Friday's Upper West Side outing (lunch, strolling, bakery, movie) was a lot of fun, but super chilly. Spring is still hiding in New York City. The sun shone brightly all weekend, and while the afternoon light peeking through the living room curtains certainly delighted me, come Sunday, I was content to curl up with the New York Times and watch a Law & Order: SVU marathon on tv.

This week, I plan to focus and get things done. I know how lucky I am to have another week off, but I need to plan accordingly, as April promises to be busy--probably the busiest month of the year so far. "Balance" is the buzz word of choice around here. I'm working on it.
