just brimming over with the good news today. another beautiful day, warmer than yesterday, but as shiny and crisp as a new apple. . .

long time readers may remember my lament for the beautiful winter garden, surely one of my favorite spaces in all new york. the great news is that it should be open again by next autumn.

and while we're on a roll, UPS did right by me -- the tamper has arrived. my is it heavy. it definitely does all the work for you. in the end i settled on the stainless-steel, long-handled version; in fact, i might have preferred the shorter one for my little-girl hands. but whatever! will report on it in-depth later this week.

finally, i have to tell you about a chocolate-related product i just can't live without: fresh's fleurs de chocolate, a dark-chocolate & orange shea-butter hand and lip balm. the aroma is strong, ultra-chocolately and very addictive; you'll find yourself licking it off your lips. it's also said to be good for the hair, but if you put this on your dry ends as a hair-dressing, strangers probably will follow you around. i keep a little tin of it at the office; sometimes i open it just to take a deep, deep, deep inhale. . .
