Summer Nostalgia

This week has consisted of a constant plunge into Summer mental repose following an overwhelmingly hectic end of school year schedule (topped off with the ever-so-yearned-for high school graduation.) My heart has escalated at every appearance of the sun- some of which moments I have documented with the help of my beloved new gadget (and grad gift), the Iphone. Having only really two months left before I leave for school, I have been trying my best to soak up the details of home I know I will miss, including the picturesque vignettes right in the comfort of my back yard.

April in Manhatten

I love New York in the springtime. The cherry blossom trees add to the village's nostalgic appeal, the Central Park greenery turns the landscape into an attraction for people of all ages and types, and the gentle sunlight highlights the eclectic assembly of Manhattan pedestrians. I was lucky enough to experience a beautiful spring morning in NYC today after seeing Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend last night at the Greenwich House Theater. In addition to meandering through Manhattan in April or May, I highly recommend seeing the show; it was both hysterical and sweet.
