Grab Bag.

5-13-15 SHORT HILLS: The last two days have been cool and windy, very windy. Summer returns by the weekend.

Last night, we saw ‘Skylight’ at the Golden Theatre with Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy. They play former lovers divided by their history, politics, age, cooking, economics and you name it. Both performances were wonderful. The set is her apartment—nice to see an actual set for a change. Neither of us were thrilled with it, but I liked it a bit more than Judy.

Today I had lunch with four college classmates in the city, Alan, Mike, Paul and Roger, who are all still working. I drove in from NJ, the traffic was depressingly horrific, both in and out. Next time, I will use mass transit, hopefully I will be walking without crutches by then.

New blooms: bridalwreath spirea, deutzia, rhododendron, red-twig dogwood, columbine, wild strawberry.

Quiz: The following five pix are of small, white flower clusters. They have all been mentioned as 'New blooms' recently. Can you ID them? The leaves can help with ID. Answers next post, if I remember.


1. Bridalwreath spirea.

2. Red-twig dogwood.

3. Doublefile viburnum.

4. Bridalwreath spirea, reprise.

5. Seibold viburnum.
