Autumnal Equinox Upcoming.

9-20-25 SHORT HILLS: The tree that had partially fallen in the back yard during the summer was taken down this week. About half of the bamboo by the sun room was cut down so that the window unit can be replaced, it’s rotted at the base. The bamboo-less view is better than the look of the bamboo, and we may take down the rest of it. 

Lily and Danna were here last Sunday, we went to Lorenas for brunch. I had the avocado toast, which was great. While there, we saw Paul, Helene and Marylou, who were also brunching. Today we were in the Village to see Anna, Gardner and Emmett before his nap and before they went to the Mets game. I had lunch with Bill yesterday.

Judy and I both had med visits to HSS to see Dr. Lee, who did my knee. Judy had a consult for her hip and was re-assured that no surgery was needed. I was given an OK and told to come back in five years, we’ll see.

It turned out that the pool cover pump needed to be replaced, but I got credit from Home Depot for the one that failed. 

We are caught up with medical visits and shots, and we go back to VT for my Class Reunion and some fall foliage.

Here's the tree, suspended by another tree, but now gone. It was a red maple.

While waiting for X-rays at HSS, you get to watch traffic on the East River.
