I'm going to NYC for an alumni college on Saturday and some R & R. Not Venice or Marcel's seaside holiday, but with its own enchantments. A visit to MOMA, my first, is in the cards.

Rain predicted, and a cool front has moved into the Northeast. Good for the garden. No hawthornes in sight, but I have an orange rhododendrum ready to bloom. Just planted two years ago and it has 13 big flower buds this year. I may swoon. White asparagus season is here and I recall how young Marcel went on and on about the delicate coloration. Proust hovers over everything.
