What a Difference a Day Makes

 

Yesterday at Richard Tucker Park, near Lincoln Center

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. It was a little breezy, but warm enough to sit outside and enjoy people watching, iced coffee and conversation. It was the perfect start to the Memorial Day weekend. I had plans for visiting an outdoor photography exhibit this afternoon and a barbecue with friends on Monday.

Yesterday was  bright and sunny and today has been the exact opposite. This afternoon the temperature was in the low fifties and as the day progressed the rain got heavier. It was the perfect afternoon for a movie. I saw The Sheep Detectives and it was a wonderful rainy day movie. It was sweet, a little sad and, one of my favorite things, a good detective story, the end of which I didn't guess. It was a very old-fashioned way to spend a rainy afternoon, but still as satisfying as rainy day matinees were sixty years ago.

 

It was quite a movie weekend. Yesterday I was also at the movie theater for the opening day of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. I'm a fan of The Mandalorian series and an enormous fan of Grogu/Baby Yoda. Grogu was adorable, Mando (the Mandolorian) was fearless and the special effects were great. 

More rain is expected for tomorrow and I hope to work through a long list of at home to-dos. I'm going to go over my list for my England/Ireland/Scotland trip, and after booking the trip almost a year ago, I will be in Newcastle, England two weeks from tonight. 

Whether it's sunny or not where you are, I hope you're enjoying the weekend. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.
