There’s a new blog in town Amy Melson runs Brooklynometry. She writes about buying panties for her 2-year-old or the weird things she finds in her garden. It’s a fun, eclectic mix full of personality and place.

Found a little green dope bag in the front garden, wonder who tossed it there? I put it on our kitchen table hoping my husband would ask me why I had started shooting up, but he was preoccupied and never noticed. Plus the table is covered with junk so the bag doesn’t really grab attention. It’s a really small bag, I wonder what was in it. My friend found a bullet in her tree-pit garden, brought it in, somehow left it lying around the house so her husband found it and naturally asked “what’s this bullet doing here?” It’s interestiong to find evidence of vice in the garden. If I were to find evidence of virtue instead, what would it be? Maybe gold coins tossed in by a really generous person. That always happens here in Brooklyn, someone drives down the street throwing money out of the window of their car. That’s why were all so rich her
