I thought we needed a change of pace from the somberness of the weekend and fortunately, our mammal friends came to the rescue. Usually Pep Le Monkee is the star of Monkey Monday, but Pep has chosen to take a hiatus from social media. Instead we're fortunate to have three stars from the windows of the famed FAO Schwarz.
I made a visit to Rockefeller Center a few weeks ago to see if the construction there was ongoing. I discovered an ongoing construction site, but I also discovered a group of new animal friends welcoming visitors to New York.
Though this sloth is not a monkey or even a primate -- sloths are in the same family as anteaters and armadillos -- I thought he was pretty cute. Sloths are also favorites of my friend, Lonni, who I first met in fifth grade in 1960. My sloth buddy and I are wishing Lonni a very happy birthday (tomorrow).
We've got an adventure (or two) this week, including a great visit to the NY Botanical Gardens. Last year was not the norm for autumn adventures, but this year is looking a lot livelier. I'm hoping to share lots of autumn leaves and pumpkins and apples freshly picked. What are you most anticipating about this autumn?
As ever, thanks for visiting and have a terrific Tuesday.

Fun post. I remember going to FAO Schwartz with my kids when we were in NY for parents weekend in 1999. That is the year my oldest daughter started college over at Kings Point on Long Island. Good memories. It was a fun weekend in the city. Hope you have a good week. :-)
In 1960 I was awaiting the birth of my second daughter. it was a good year. I think the sloth is adorable. Enjoy your day, hugs, Edna B.
Very cute post! Can´t even decide who is the cutest.
Thank you for the smile.
I didn't know that sloths were in the same family as anteaters and armadillos.
Glad I learned something new today.
Happy Wednesday!
