a thing in 13 photos in 2014 tree showing 2014 only · show all years Squirrels! Come down here right now! A bunch of the elm trees are sick and they are spaypaint-marked for removal! Sad! Merry Christmas! Got up early and took Maddy for a holiday walk to the East River. I'm not 100% sure, but maybe this is some of London Kaye's earlier yarn-bombing work? Took Maddy for a stroll through La Plaza and noticed that someone had recently knit a sweater for one of the trees inside! So cute! Big fan of this pipe-cleanery pine tree. Around five hours later, we arrived in Montauk at the amazing house that Ellen & Hans had rented for lots of the wedding guests! Big Choppa! The pretty ferns with their early, alternating fall colors. A bunch of (Sycamore?) trees down the street are sick and their bark is peeling off. ...and Tompkins looked extra pretty.
Here's an excerpt from my written journal from this day that made me laugh:

By Tuesday, all the snow had melted and I took Maddy for a nice long walk over to East River Park. All of the trees were ringed with wonderfully-fragrant Christmas tree mulch! Painted branches.
