Witkem House

a Crown Heights house-in-progress

The newly planted garden is looking really happy this morning! Last night the fellows didn’t let rain stop them from firing up the BBQ!

We went shopping today at our local  Bed-Stuy Home Depot. Since moving here they’ve gone from possibly the worst home & garden store in the world to a friendly if not totally efficient place.
Tomorrow we’ll clear out some more rubble that’s still in the beds and start planting!
We’re creating a little bit of Vermont in our Brooklyn back yard.

Sunday afternoon at Witkem House. Mendel is working on the fence roof. Our ball collection is growing - the most recent addition landed a few feet away from me as I was doing yoga during the week. There are over 15 balls in our neighbors yard.

it was a beautiful weekend and we all spent a lot of it in the yard! The steps are now finished, the drains have been cleared, and we’re going to start planting this week. On Sunday a few blocks of Eastern Parkway were shut down for a giant parade and festival. By 3 everyone had dispersed, leaving behind barricades, trash, and nearly the whole alphabet of stop sign-sized letters.
