I Heart Pigeons

Seth and I met for lunch at this Dumpling Bar. Dumplings aren't my favorite thing, but these were pretty good. Even better... we enjoyed Watermelonaide to drink. I decided I'd look up a possible recipe for this drink and I found a little information from a message board:

Have you tried Watermelemonaide yet? If not, try it!! I just made some with ½ a big watermelon, two big lemons, and three oranges. Yummy nectar. Watermelon juice is the most alkaline of any fruit or vegetable! Because of this, it can help overcome acidic conditions of the body. It is rich in protein, A,B, and C vitamins, enzymes and chlorophyll, and easily digested by most people- even those with poor digestive systems. Watermelon juice help to eliminate uric acid and dissolve accumulated deposits from a poor diet, making it ideal for those with arthritis, gout, and Uremic poisoning, which are all caused by an excess accumulation of uric acid. Watermelon juice flushes a lot of acid from the system and renews the blood. When this happens, the skin starts looking and feeling better! If you feel that watermelon juice is too sweet for you, you can dilute it with water!!

From there I linked to a blog and found this interesting idea of "Juice Feasting". Supposedly it even cures Diabetes. Curious? There is a link to the Juice Feasting blog and website you can check out.

After enjoying lunch with Seth, he headed back to work and I headed off to enjoy the below 90 degree weather! As I walked through Union Square, I was handed a flyer, which is constantly happening. This one was interesting. I'm not really sure what the statement is that he's trying to make, because I just don't have enough information!

Both sides of his board were blank... and he said nothing, just handed out the white cards as he listened to music in his earphones.

As I said, I don't have much information about his cause...

As I made my way towards Madison Square Park, I'm not going to lie that I was a bit nervous walking by this crane... One fell when I was here at Spring Break and another when I came back in June. I-yi-yi.

I spent the afternoon sitting in the shade in Madison Square Park enjoying a good summer read! (Current Read: P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahearn... This rarely happens, but I think I like the movie better.)

Sculptures in the Park. There were about 6 different ones by the same artist. They change every summer.

Someone is ALWAYS up to something... In Union Square, as I waited for Seth to get off work for the weekend, I spotted a group of loyal pigeon lovers. They were giving out free shirts and stickers if you discussed pigeons with them. Huh.
