great day for a walk

Bonnie arrived around 11:15 for walking. Sharon immediately left. She wanted a head-start because we walk too fast. The plan was to go up Bishopthorpe and then out Seneca. We left about 5 minutes after her, made two stops and waited for traffic on Broadway. We blew past her at Mohican Street. (photo one. Sharon would call this a big-butt shot.)

Then we headed back down to Uncas Street and out Ostrum/Brighton toward the bridge. One of the residents was still saving their parking spot. I wanted to leave them a note that said "winter is over. take your chair inside". Really. The snow Friday was really wet and sloppy. (photo two)

We crossed the bridge and Sharon rested while we checked out the new ramp construction. It will enter the bridge right before the black arch on the south side. (photo three)

Then we headed out Third to New, up New and back Fourth. At the Loose Threads Boutique there were some really cool fabric birds in the window. (photo four) We went inside. Here they were sculpture from ArtsLehigh. The clerk told us that there was art along Third street as part of this project. We had walked past the Banana Factory and didn't even know! Had we known, we would have gone the extra two blocks.. I need to go to Tallarico's for chocolate bunnies for my girls, so I guess I'll carve out some time to check out the art.

When we reached the five points, Bonnie and I headed up Wyandotte and Sharon headed home down Broadway. She beats us home.

Afterwards Bonnie helped me clean the mouse poop out of the high up cupboards and pulled all of mom's "good" dishes and stuff down. I have had many fine meals on those dishes. Bonnie even took them home and ran them thru the dishwasher. Now that they are out I'm using them at Easter. The food will still taste awful, but it will look good!
