Midtown East afternoon

Jasmine about to burst open in my living room. It can get heady, but I love it (with the windows open).

This magnolia tree and the furry buds that will burst in to flowers soon. A harbinger of Spring while we still have some winter left.

Such a shopping pleasure.

Good morning sunshine and shadows.

This is terrible news. I also find it telling that the President’s Day protests are not being reported. What’s going on NYTimes? Is that not news that’s fit to print?

Instagram is also a huge time suck, is it the dopamine hit? Whatever it is, I want to be more present. And to connect with people in a real way. I need it, I think we all do. Life isn’t meant to be watched, I think we all need really communication, not just likes and hearts. Not to diss emojis ❣️

Sorry if this is meant to be read backwards. I’m a Luddite. What I also liked about insta were the cute animals and funny stuff. Not the advertising, that made me want stuff, it was effective at targeting what I like.

What I liked most about Instagram was the ability to communicate with people that I wouldn’t otherwise, and I’m already connecting with some of you. Hi!👋🏼
