Every once in a while someone who doesn’t live in New York expresses concern about the strange practice of raising children in the city, and I realize they don’t know about the park. The park! We are obsessed with the park. Or I am. Harper has probably spent 60% of her life in the park. The playground, the meadows, the zoo, the botanic gardens, the carousel, the other playground, the other other playground, the tot lot. Oh the park. It’s true about city dwellers and parks being our yards. And we don’t even have to mow. It obligingly glows in Autumn. This is good because we are too lazy to drive out of the city in order to enjoy fall color. Which is good because we live near the park. Oh the park.

Can I please LOVE this? Such beautiful photos of you and your family. Brooklyn rocks. And so do you!
YOU do! Thanks!
Gorgeous! Your kids are beauties. Our front yard looks like photo number two (except you can’t see any green) and we are supposed to RAKE! Not just once, but like every week!
I miss Prospect Park.
Rake? Yourself? What about the Yard Department? Weird.
Also: I bet your place is so beautiful!!
