You always find what to do, thirsty for art and beauty, and you succeed to transform your own experiences into excitement for us, too!:)<br />Some of the beautiful pics remind me of some sights around!:)<br />It was very interesting to read more about Matisse (you provoked me, thank you!).<br />I do hope the drillers will go home soon and leave you in peace!:)rossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-90753717045431231562014-10-19T03:22:49.423-07:002014-10-19T03:22:49.423-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.rossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-85284575731522420952014-10-18T15:00:54.169-07:002014-10-18T15:00:54.169-07:00So sorry you are still drilled into submission.
I...So sorry you are still drilled into submission.<br /><br />It’s so brave of you to play in your apartment anyway, in spite of the pests just outside. De-cluttering is always a good idea; I am, sadly, only very half-hearted about it although I really need to get down to it soon. <br /><br />Enjoy your walks and your museum visits, nature and art together is good for the spirit, and if there’s a bit of tasty food as well, life’s not so bad.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-27713331056286481792014-10-18T02:43:12.274-07:002014-10-18T02:43:12.274-07:00Lovely autumnal park pictures, Frances.

How lovely. It seems as if you have had to put up with the drilling for ages now?

They are progressing very slowly and disappear for days at a time. It has rained heavily. The plastic sheeting looks inadequate to the task of keeping the roof dry.<br />Warm weather is predicted here.

Please forgive me if I have already...Dear Frances,<br /><br />Please forgive me if I have already mentioned this in a previous post but I truly sympathise with the noise polution you have been enduring for, it would seem, a long time now. When living in Paris and pregnant with our son our apartment Windows overlooked an Inside courtyard. Workmen spent weeks redoing the four wals of that courtyard. I was obliged to live in my flat with the shutters closed during the entire day, and this was in winter so sunlight was a rarity. The noise factor was trying to say the least. Do you know when the work will be finished for good? Not long now, I hope!<br /><br />I'm always struck when I see your pictures how much greenery there is in New York. I only spent a few days there years ago but I marvel at how good you are at finding nature in Central Park. It's fascinating for us readers!<br /><br />Warmest wishes to you dear Frances and good luck with the decluttering.<br /><br />Stephaniemillefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-86384790449510279692014-10-15T03:30:18.292-07:002014-10-15T03:30:18.292-07:00Yes, we should grasp these lovely autumn days!

How horrible and stretching that must be.I so hope for you that this work will be soon over, at least when the winter season starts and they cannot do anymore on your building. Very understandable that you long to go out and enjoy the sun and colours in Central Park. Thank you so much to take us with you.
