Anyone else identify with this single leaf still hanging on?

There's an epic poem living inside that single leaf.

I see you, little leaf. Never let someone else tell you when it's time to fall.

#trees #winter #hangingon

As winter approaches, a single small green leaf hangs on a tree bare tree branch among a group of bare tree branches against a very blue sky.

Celebrity sighting in Central Park!

One of the famous NYC hawks came by as we were eating lunch near the Met this weekend. The hawk even grabbed its own lunch and joined us.

It was a great time for everyone - except, of course, for the mouse.

When the guy seated behind you won't stop talking to you, and you really need to introvert for a while.

Two siberian cars are sitting on the sofa on a crumpled up sage green throw. A golden brown siberian cat has his mouth half open in a yawn that makes him look like he's chatting at the brown siberian cat sitting in front of him and clearly ignoring him.

Is this what it looks like when your cat is being consumed by a tribble and only his front legs and head are left?

There's so much fluff. And under the fluff, more fluff. Expeditions have been sent to find the cat under the fluff, but they've gotten lost in the fluff.

The fluff is sentient now.

A very very very fluffy golden brown siberian cat is lying on a sofa partially on a green throw blanket, white cat bed, and purple pillows. You can see his head and two front paws, but the rest of his body looks like a ball of fluff.

Anyone else wide awake and panicked only to discover the thing scaring you from across the room in the middle of the night was the #glowinthedarkyarn that does, in fact, glow in the dark?

#crochet is not for the faint of heart.

Who needs horror movies?

A pack of 5 skeins of glow in the dark yarn that are, true to their name, glowing in the dark.

Help! She's too cute! How can I survive #caturday with this much cuteness?

A lot happened in #NYC yesterday, but just noting that the leaves were falling UP off the trees, not down.

Also, some of our #trees are really striking in silhouette.

All in all, good job at doing November yesterday, Manhattan.

Avery blue sky is seen behind fall trees. Notably, the leaves falling off the trees were taken by the wond above the trees rather than falling to the ground. Some leaves in the air appear as various colors while others appear black as silhouettes.

Make sure you consider your next move very carefully.... Cross him at your own peril.

Proposal: in the spring, we spring back. Then fall back again, spring back, etc. It's fair to eventually have the night shift people experience days and day shift people have to work in the dark. Plus, we all get an extra hour each time. I mean, it makes as much sense as what we do now, doesn't it?

Her brother is sick and getting meds in churu, but you can't give him churu and not her, so she gets extra churu whenever he gets meds. She's profiting off the illness of others like a health insurance exec. Totally enjoying her #caturday unbothered about it.

Look, the rules clearly state that when you've taken him to the animal hospital ER, you have to change the sheets (one of his favorite things) as soon as he is feeling better to make him as happy as possible. So relieved he is able to enjoy #caturday this week.

I love early voting because I can vote on my mom's birthday to honor her. I remember her bringing me with her to vote from the time I was little. (It was a coincidence that my purple shirt matched the purple on the sticker).

Love you and miss you, Mom!

A round sticker with a blue background and purple empire state building with white text reading "Manhattan votes early where the "o" in votes is itself the old "vote NYC" sticker. The sticker is on a purple shirt that b6 coincidence matches the purple empire state building.

I don't know why I found this so striking when I looked up, but I had to capture it. It didn't seem real. I think something about the contrast of light and dark, of silhouette and color, caused a visceral response. Thought I'd share. Also, #birbs.
