our block party

fall is our very favorite time of year. the weather is cooler, the leaves are gorgeous, the tourists are gone, and the block parties are abundant. this is a new york tradition in which we close down our block (wreaking havoc on the traffic around us) and the entire block comes out to play. this year we had a steel drum orchestra, we played limbo, we talked, and we ate a lot of great food. we have been blessed to live on a diverse block where those who have lived here 70 years mingle with young families who have just moved in and people of every race and color are welcome.
