First Day of Vacation!

Yves and Lucien are done with their school work, the Cned that needs to be mailed. So we spent the afternoon in the Garden cleaning and planting. It looks wonderful. We planted more impatients to cover the bare spots left by the rabbits. And swept up all the ailanthus debris. It was fun with everyone helping out. Then we all settled in to get dinner on.

Everyone pitched in to dice and organize all the ingredients for Thai wraps. Cilantro, Mint, Crab, lemon (we didn't have lime), jalapeno, toasted coconut, mango, cucumber, carrots, rice vermicelli, ginger, peanut sauce, green onion, red pepper, peanuts and the rice wraps.

Gael has his first wrap ready to go.

Yves the lone survivor, finishing up the last morsels. Camille serenading us.

After dinner, with the sun setting, we went for a wonderful walk by the river toward Chelsea Piers. The park has extended farther north, with planted piers, grass fields and rock garden. We all loved it. Lucien made plans to go back tomorrow when Alexander comes, to fly his remote airplane.

A really lovely walk, after a beautiful day.
