The R.I.N.G. Garden

Sadie has been visiting A LOT of New York City's gardens this summer. Here she is with her friends Margaret, Catlin and ? (their unborn baby) at their community garden. They showed her how to turn compost and dispose of dead rats that are sometimes found in gardens.

just call me uber mom:

first new shoes

my girls taking their naps

One of the girls has really dirty knees from the playground. Those knees are getting a lot of use, racking up the miles. maybe they'll give us a free flight someday. or maybe just 8 hours at a stretch to sleep...

get around town, girl

Here's Sadie giving a point to her fellow subway rider/taking a break from chewing on her foot:Here is Sadie enjoying a sound art piece at the UBS gallery opening:

Maia and Caroline are visiting us! finally girls...

new business

Nothing can stop Sadie anymore. now when Trixie is in her path she climbs over her. Today some tourists from Taiwan took turns posing with Sadie for pictures. next time were charging $$. This was the trial run.

grass!

Sadie's not quite sure what to make of it. But I think she likes it better than carpets because it it easier to rip up.

sadie won't let me sleep or do anything but hold her

I'm going a little crazy. so here is an aside. instead of a post about Sadie I am reporting on our visit to Bushwick to see Zak and this empty lot. Zak and I used to live across the street but the lot was very barren then. now it has very tall weeds and a pretty tall sculpture by Ben. It is next door to a weird daycare center called The Bruce High Quality Foundation. I checked it out but I don't think I will be sending Sadie there because the child attendants were unfriendly. I have a new blog about gardeners http://thegardenersofnyc.blogspot.com/
