It was a gorgeous weekend, wasn’t it. I ate my annual box of Peeps (I am a traditionalist and don’t cotton to Halloween and Christmas peeps….the horror!). We trucked out to Astoria to have Sunday mid-afternoon lunch at our favorite Greek restaurant, only to find it closed, for Easter, we assume. Shoulda thought about that one. But who cares, it was a beautiful drive, and a very nice walk. And when we came home, we had my husband’s version of Greek salad, which I prefer to any other.

Saturday brought the annual pillow fight, in Union Square –

pillow fight with an ironic arched eyebrow and cameras everywhere

And Sunday brought the annual Easter Parade up Fifth Avenue –

so very dandy!

We got out and about, in Riverside Park and then back up Broadway – so beautiful, gauzy springy blossomy yumminess:

And I saw this Saturday – maybe you’ve already seen it, but it was new to me. I always thought Mary Poppins was just a little bit creepy:

And I’ll leave you with a musical recommendation: Honey Honey, by Feist. Eerie and beautiful, and the video is kind of awesome. I can’t get unstuck from Telephone – Gaga strikes me again – but this song is such a different mood it does have its moments in my earworm list.

Homing in on the toe of my Kai-Mei sock, will post a pic when it’s done. I have to say, that Cookie A is one clever sock designer. Her patterns are such fun, and make you feel like a clever knitter.
