Here’s the occasional—and lovely—note from Fonda at Zuzu’s Petals:

Zuzushopperdears…

I have nothing to say about the Economic news this week …
except one small reference to my lifelong avoidance of roller coasters and other "amusement" rides where one is totally out of control
strapped into some contrivance
which is throttling along an unseen track
pitching one from side to side,
with the  sudden "thrill" of being turned upside down…
while being dropped into freefall.
Am I the only one who felt tossed about?

On to the Joys of the Season.

For purely selfish reasons, I will not encourage you to leave town
and catch a look at the leaves changing Upstate.
We have some very nice colors happening all around us:
Prospect Park, The Botanic Gardens,The Old Stone House Park on Third Street,
not to mention our neighbors’ front yards, our street trees…and of course, The Zuzus.

Stick around this weekend,
save gas,
take a nice long walk in the neighborhood,
head towards The Old Stone House
have lunch out..
what a selection we have to choose from:
‘snice, Stone Park Cafe, Earth Tonez,
Belleville, Get Fresh, Pollio’s ,Brooklyn Bread!
come visit The Zuzus, maybe pick up one of our Recession Proof Seasonal Bouquets
stop in at the new wine shop between 3rd and 4th street
collect dinner materials, do the wine thing again with some friends.
