Going organic!
Walked dog at 6:30
Had triple espresso with half and half while reading my emails
Ate breakfast on the deck (it is sooo beautiful in NYC today): omelette, grilled whole wheat with Comté cheese, half an avocado, and a glass of organic carrot juice
Put the finishing touches to 9 children knitted hats for a store
Went to the Union Square Christmas Market which is already open and bought a children's book (signed by illustrator)
Went to the regular green market there and got 10 lbs of pears at $.80 a lb to make my famous spicy pear chutney
Got home and walked the dog, spent time talking to a neighbour who had been out of town for a while and is back
Had laundry picked up and delivered
Right now having tea which I will take to the deck (it is a bit colder now, but still lovely enough to sit outside!)
Later I plan to walk to a little market which opened near me where craftspeople are selling their wares (they are having music and snacks to open the Christmas season)
