Yet another story, dear follower.
Yesterday we reached the magical temperature of approximately 70F! (Yes, once you're here, you have to get used to Fahrenheit, pounds, miles, feet...). It was so nice! And I was so happy I had to go to the NYU during lunch, so I actually got to enjoy this summer weather! This day definitely was 'skirts day'!
LOL, this morning was fun! I went to the bathroom, and there was this huge ugly scary creature in my bathtub! The first thing I did (of course), was getting my camera to make some pictures, the second thing I did (of course), was getting ready to kill the beast with a stone. However, I covered it with a glass so I could deal with it at a more descend time (it was 6am). Later, my new roomy and I removed it from the bathroom. Some research from my little sister learned us, it's a whip spider. Sadly, our little (about 2 inch) fellow (see picture) is dead now.. I hope there are no siblings coming to get their revenge!
Today was splendid again, however 'only' 60F, and the wind was pretty strong. I decided to enjoy my 'own' neighborhood (see pictures)! It was so good to see all the spring flowers, and hear the sparrows sing. Park Slope is nice, there are lots of bars, restaurants and nice little stores!
I have another story concerning animals for you! In 1993 the first red tailed hawk (Pale Male) was spotted in Central Park. Soon after, a love nest was build in a 12-story chic apartment on Fifth Avenue facing Central Park (I think this is one of the most expensive places to live in NYC). Of course (?) these rich people didn't like to have such great birds building nests on their houses, so they removed the twigs and branches. The bird couple made a new nest, and again the nest was removed. Finally (and luckily) the birds won their nest, and since then Pale Male has sired 23 offsprings, and they have entertained New Yorkers with aerial acrobatics! I haven't seen them yet, should try to get a glimpse of them soon! Nice to have some wild life in Manhattan!
