My favorite photo-event of the year! <a href="http://www.fortgreenepups.org/">Fort Greene Pups</a> changed the venue at the last minute from Fort Greene Park to <a href="http://www.halloween313.com/">313 Clinton Avenue</a> because the Saturday snow on trees full of leaves created hazardous conditions. 313 had their stage set up in the front yard for their fantastic <a href="http://www.halloween313.com/">Halloween Event</a> scheduled for tomorrow night. Special thanks to everyone who helped make this happen--great job!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The photos get better further on when I moved to the PUP-arazzi section right by the stage. As with all major celebrity events, there were a few jostling elbows but instead of "Paris, over here..", a few kissy noises helped turn the stars' heads.</div>

A closer look shows that there is indeed a reason they call something the birds and the bees. These were the only two I saw, but from the tweeting and rustling in all the bushes, there were some very busy birds!<br />

My absence was mostly due to the new job, some business trips, and the long winter where I just couldn't take or post another flake of snow. I've missed blogging and visiting everyone else most of all! So, after a lovely morning in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, I am very happy to be back!<br />

So we keep a rickety wooden ladder up in the bedroom, and our nimble wards enjoy playing on it. Mr. Beans' favorite game is when he sits on top of the ladder, I swing the mouse on a wire toy near him, he grabs it, puts the mouse in his mouth, then jumps off the ladder, gallops down the hallway and into the living room - my job is to chase him and cry, "where are you going, where are you going?!".<br />
<br />
The Beansie game reminds me of one of the funniest scenes Ronnie every witnessed. When Beansie was a very small 5 month old, I had some take-out food that included a rolled-up pita bread. Beansie grabbed the pita in his mouth, and I started chasing him around the apartment because I didn't want him to eat all that white flour. The roll was almost 1/2 his size at that point. With the size perspective, and his relatively small head, he looked like a saber-tooth tiger running with a huge bone. He hid under tables, ran around the back of chairs, and I'm yelling at Ronnie to help block him, but Ronnie was too busy laughing his head off at what I admit was a very comic scene. In the end, Beansie jumped with it into the litter box. Suffice it to say, no pita for me or the Bean. <br />
<br />
Aaaanyway, yesterday we had to move the ladder to the kitchen. Beansie somehow got up on the high shelf above the cabinets and was nervous about coming down. We thought he could jump to the ladder, but Lola decided to go for the block. The moment after Beansie made his way down, Lola went up to claim the space and Beansie played on the ladder. <br />

They promise I'll never use the auto or icon modes again!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We still have our Christmas tree up too. We took off and packed away all the ornaments, but it still looks pretty with just the lights and one cloth ornament at the bottom for Lola. It will come down this week. Year-round, I have an odd recurring nightmare where it is March or later, the tree is still up, ornaments are falling off and there is nary a needle on it. Must be something about my fear of procrastination. <br />

Beansie, not a fan of the winter sports or winter weather, uses the light as a heat lamp. He'd climb into it if he could as you can from all the cat hairs along the bottom rim of the shade. When he is cold, he makes himself so small - in fact in he long and very tall! This was taken before we took the ornaments off the tree - I swear, we have done that! <br />

With the new smaller camera, it is so much easier to photograph the small and large wonders I see everyday. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the photos from December I wanted to share. Captions are under each photo because with this amount, it is just easier than trying to get the darn blogger (non-HTML) software spacing issues to work. <br />

So peaceful, great leftovers, and time to relax after all the craziness leading up to the big day. And now I have many hours to spend getting to know my new camera - the wonderfully powerful yet small Canon Powershot S95 - thanks Santa! </div><div><br />
</div><div>We got a small tree this year. With our busy schedule, we stayed in Brooklyn and did not host Christmas for Ronnie's family this year. We did have his parents over for a lovely Christmas Eve dinner - it would have been a shame to decorate and not show it off a bit! <br />

</i></b><br />
<b><i>...by my own cat.</i></b><br />
<br />
We finished decorating the tree yesterday, and after going to bed, I kept hearing plink plink plink. I had to get up 3-4 times to "tell" Lola to stop playing with the low lying tree ornaments.<br />
<br />
This morning, I got up, laid my clothes out, took a shower, got dressed (in the dark so as not to wake Ronnie) and went off to the subway. While waiting for the 2nd train (thus having gone quite far with this), I notice something scratching me - felt like a stiff tag - in the back of my pants. After some subtle searching, I felt something odd and pulled one of the wards' favorite toys out of my pants. Yes, the "mouse" was hanging outside my pants below my coat - like a wire tail with a rodent at the end of it. Two ladies who saw this looked horrified until I stopped laughing long enough to hold it up and say "vindictive cat". <br />
<br />
My "tail".<br />

I know it was Lola and not Mr. Beans - he is not the prankster - that somehow worked it into my pants while I was taking a shower. The wire had come off the stick, and had a perfect circle to somehow hook onto an extra button near the inside waistband. <br />

This is her - "uh huh, that was me, and there is more to come if you keep talking to me like you did" look.<br />

I was out and about without the camera yesterday, and today I'm enjoying a warm cup of tea, some delicious sweet rosemary shortbreads from our grateful neighbor and waiting for the sun to come around to our side of the building.<br />
<br />
Here are some other dwellers in our apartment that are looking forward to direct sunlight. Plumbago - we had a lighter variety from my aunt that is very popular along the coast in Spain, but we took its winter dormancy period too literally and killed it. We got this variety which produces fewer flowers in the flower heads, but is more at home in this area - we've seen in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Early this year, after letting it get too leggy (we have a lot to learn), we cut way back and thought we would get no blooms until next summer. But the odd single flowers are showing up now. <br />

I bought this coffee plant in a supermarket about 4-5 years ago when it was about 5 inches tall. Now it is over 4 feet and very full. This is the first year we got beans! 1. I'm wondering how it got pollinated - not many coffee plants in Brooklyn. 2. If I plant a bean, will another grow? Too few for even the smallest doll-size cup of espresso. <br />

Oxalis Triangularis are supposed to go dormant for a few months every year, but ours never do. They grow toward the sun and close up at night. They would look better in a window, but our wards munch on them. We keep these shelves full to discourage more snacking. <br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: LEFT;">The piece on the wall to the right is one of a pair. We took it to the Antiques Roadshow in Connecticut a few years ago. I don't think the expert really knew what they are, but he guessed they probably came from a Mediterranean Church during WW2. My aunt found them in an antiques store years and years ago, and they were on a porch for a long time. Our typically over-heated Brooklyn apartment is drying them out and the paint is chipping, but I still love them. <br />
<br />
A note about AR - when you see the show, everyone is so happy and having a great time (like we did), but I was surprised at the amount of people who were annoyed or outright angry that their treasures were not worth what they expected. PBS should do one show, or segment, of people storming out telling everyone who will listen that these "so-called experts don't know $%@&." And don't ever bring a painting to AR - those lines were the longest! <br />

The true odd Bean, Mr. Beans, catching those first rays of sunshine as they hit the apartment around 12:20pm at this time of year. From left, a coffee tree branch, the infamous pot of grass and the ficus tree that wants to take over our whole apartment. It has given me 5 sons and daughters from cuttings, but really, who needs that many ficus trees?!<br />

We've been here for over 7 years, and I'm still meeting long-time neighbors for the first time. Different schedules in and out the building account for a lot of that. And a recent mid-week use of the co-op laundromat introduced me to a whole new crowd.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>I met our human neighbors at the other end of the hall soon after they moved in, but rarely saw them since. Lola became acquainted with their then one cat because she runs out when we come in and inspects every door. I imagined the neighbor's cat sniffing back when Lola was there. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Last week, one of the humans rang our bell to ask if we knew a reliable cat-sitter because hers had backed out for the holiday weekend. I immediately volunteered our services, and she was very relieved. Through a few brief elevator encounters, it <i><b>somehow</b></i> became clear that we are cat lovers. </div><div><br />
</div><div>For two days, I visited Chloe and Pumpkin to provide food, play, scooping and affection - well, only Chloe on the last. Pumpkin is apx 3-4 months old, and was a little skittish with me unless I had a toy on a long string. Both are rescues, which always tug my heart-strings (and also told me they have good humans). </div><div><br />

Add a chilly wind and a holiday weekend, and we get some very quiet streets now. Peaceful, but I miss the hubbub, bub. <br />

I asked this little lady's person if I could take her picture, and she happily obliged. Tyra Banks would have been impressed at how she turned, looked at the camera and moved every so slightly for every shot - I just the SLR fly.<br />

Tomorrow - a visit down the hall to tend to our feline neighbors while their people are away.Kate on Clintonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12941717797683079497noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8200621415059481337.post-2907044871057174412010-11-24T19:26:00.000-05:002010-11-24T19:26:01.956-05:00New ViewsWith the wonderful new job has come two more great perks: an iPhone and a different path to work. To most, the commute would seem nearly identical to my old - same train options, same train stops. However, getting to the new workplace takes me along 40th Street and the south side of Bryant Park, instead of 42nd Street on the north side of the Park. South of 42nd Street is a completely different neighborhood, yet I'm only 3 blocks from where I worked for over eight years. Even the light seems different. I've happily been very busy and haven't had any time to explore, but with an early closing before the holiday, I took a quick walk with my new <s>toy</s> <i>vitally necessary</i> business communication device before heading home to rest and get rid of this annoying cold once and for all. <div><br />
</div><div>My favorite daily sight is this restored Carousel on the south side of the Park. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlA0ivyjq14nz5B-wBb4UE0ZhCSpy-icNUyCmy_XwXnPmSHBFJuXIK5my3cfWqLq19QgGWyTN6IcqeRWMb3kX-K09NLDougoWKgQyafTDHVdxW4Lj6bXzA5doTMYvpPvHmSdhetBLN7Q/s1600/photo+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlA0ivyjq14nz5B-wBb4UE0ZhCSpy-icNUyCmy_XwXnPmSHBFJuXIK5my3cfWqLq19QgGWyTN6IcqeRWMb3kX-K09NLDougoWKgQyafTDHVdxW4Lj6bXzA5doTMYvpPvHmSdhetBLN7Q/s640/photo+%25282%2529.JPG" width="474" /></a></div><div><br />

I came down with a cold yesterday afternoon - I blame the subway. I thought a little walk would do me some good, but only made it as far as the Brooklyn Flea (1 block away) and had to come home for some tea and a nap. <br />
<br />
A lot of sirens got me up early this morning. About 15 fire vehicles, including 2 ladder trucks, showed up for something happening in the large co-op building (out of the picture) across the street. Brooklyn's Bravest ran a lot of hose inside, but we didn't see any smoke, so hopefully no one was hurt and there wasn't too much damage.<br />

Wonderful weather vane, but too pricey for my budget.<br />

About 10 days ago I started a new job after a long period of unemployment (thus the extra subway exposure that led to my cold). Beside my minor and temporary health set-back, I am thrilled. The job and my new colleagues are great, and it all became even more wonderful when, taking the stairs out last night, I heard this little brigand meowing up the stairwell. Turns out he lives in the office building, and his name is Tiger. According to the maintenance man, Tiger is about 8 months old, very friendly, hasn't been fixed (which I strongly encouraged) and seems to be in good condition. He was a little shy with me at first, but appreciated a good neck skritch. I hope to see more of him!<br />

The Autumn foliage came late this year, but it is now busting out all over. <br />

There has been some discussion about the etiquette of taking pictures of strangers. This couple saw me taking the photo as we approached each other, and as we passed, I simply said, you make a beautiful silhouette. They looked pleased and laughed.<br />

After Lola woke us up with her usual pre-dawn clawing, pawing and noise-making, the sounds on the street began. Soon there were sirens, church bells, cowbells, whistles, barking dogs, cheers, clapping, hooting and then the High School band down the street playing the theme to Rocky for 4 hours straight. We are at mile 8 of the NYC Marathon, right at the top of a long uphill slope (thus the hill in Clinton Hill). I did not take pictures of the elite runners - too fast and very serious! Show me the throngs!</div><br />

Back to the race coverage - here are the regular runners! Many people had their names boldly displayed on their gear so some "Way to go Anita, you can do it Enribe, looking good Jose!" encouragements got us smiles and waves. <br />

At about 1pm, it was like someone turned off the marathon. The noise suddenly stopped until a truck came by with a speaker system announcing that this was the "official" end of the race, and the streets would be open. A few more tired and slow runners bravely continued to come through. I was glad to hear that Edison Pena, one of the Chilean miners, finished the race - quite a feat for someone who had never run more than 10 miles before - not to mention spending 70 days in a mine. <br />
<br />
And then after all this, the Jets won in overtime!! Overall, another great day.<br />

There is more spring in my step and light in my spirit thanks to a recent excellent development (more on that in coming weeks). I went out for bread (large white peasant round), apples (honey crisps - worth the $.50 more per pound), dry-cleaning, etc., but found myself wandering up and down every street where the sun was shining through the Autumn leaves. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure I appreciate the smug message, but I did like the leaves' shadows on the graffiti.<br />

Their slimey fruit (which some people eat!) smells like vomit, especially when squished underfoot. Story goes that only male (fruitless) ginkgoes were to be planted, but someone in the Parks department made a mistake and now hundreds of females are dropping their foul fruit. <br />

Not quite the back roads of New England, Canada or Wales, especially with the din of airplanes and sirens in the background, but still tranquil enough to calm a city-dweller's soul. </span></span><br />

Whole brownstones are covered in decorations, and there are three music shows within 2 blocks of us. Some stoops had people waiting in lines to get their candy - I'm not sure how everyone knows who has the best stuff, but evidently some are worth wading through the mobs. The street right below us is closed for one of the largest extravaganzas - the Vampire Opera. Pictures were difficult this year - it was very crowded - but they put on a great show!<br />
