Where are you coming from today?: I wanted to plant a window box, so I got a window box and soil, and then I went to go get bulbs, but apparently you have to plant them in the fall. So, I’m going to wait and maybe plant basil.

What are your plans for the rest of the weekend?: I’m not sure yet. Depends on the weather. Probably just wander around.

Since it’s getting a little warmer, what kind of things do you like to do outside (besides planting window boxes)?: I love to walk to Dumbo, I just went there this morning. It’s just so peaceful to look at the city, but be away from it.  And that’s why I love Brooklyn.
