| Tuesday, April 1, 2014.A beautiful sunny, early Spring Monday in New York with temperatures in the high 50s and more predicted for today and tomorrow. It was a very rainy weekend which washed the sidewalks and the streets, and kept a lot of us (this writer, anyway) inside. Saturday night from this warm and sheltered nook looked great from the terrace, as you can see in the picture. That red light at the top of the photo is a beacon on top of a tall apartment house for the air traffic’s benefit. |

| JH was out yesterday with his camera and his magic eye for New Yorkers in various places and scenes, taking in the glorious hours in the Sun. You can tell by the way they are dressed that it's still on the chillier side of the spring season, but nevertheless invigorating to be able to sit in the noonday Sun. |

Very lightly, rarely leaving fingerprints.Among the mail we got in reference to Carol Joynt’s lovely piece on yesterday’s NYSD about Bunny Mellon’s“Perfect Funeral” at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Virginia last Friday afternoon, was this memory from one of our readers in Palm Beach:
“She was dressed in Wellies and a Barbour coat and she called her clippers secateurs, which is a word very few folks know ... Mr. Baltimore, her longtime loyal driver was behind the wheel of the muddy BMW wagon, which had a bucket of water in the back. “We chatted for a few moments and I told her where there was a stand of early Japanese Cherry branches just ready to bloom in a neighboring woodland ... I'm sure she headed right over there just as excited as she might be in pursuit of the most perfect piece of jewelry in a Left Bank atelier! “The M's lived in a grand style but they both lived it all very lightly, rarely leaving fingerprints.” |
