I photographed the cherry blossoms (pink flowers) in front of forsythia (yellow flowers).

The geese in Donaldson Park are enjoying the spring weather by the Raritan River.
We are getting ready for Passover (Pesach in Hebrew); one of the nicknames for Passover is Hag Ha’Aviv, the Holiday of Spring.
For more Nature Notes:


Tonight I bought cucumber and avocado sushi at the new sushi restaurant, Sushiana, in Highland Park, New Jersey. I had a sampling already – quite tasty! Saving the rest for my husband to enjoy. The owner says he will be having fish and chips and fish nuggets soon, so those sound like dishes my daughter might like (she has already said no thank you to sushi). The restaurant is kosher and serves only pareve food (no meat, chicken or dairy). I introduced him to Four Square today (I’m one check-in away from becoming Mayor; if you don’t know what that means, you are not missing much). At some point, I hope to introduce the topic of brown rice sushi (as opposed to white rice).
Do you like sushi? Do you like fish? Do you like fish sushi?
I’m too late to submit this to KCC, but here’s Batya’s wonderful Nisan KCC.
Update: See the Sushiana website (I built it). Now you all can enjoy sushi from Sushiana, even if just by looking at the images.

I placed and photographed natural and man made objects for the theme of green. How many green objects can you spot?
Thursday Challenge is “GREEN” (Fruit, Vegetables, Animals, Clothing, Vehicles,…)
Next Week: THREE (Triplets, Trio, Triptych, Triangle,…)

I decided to go for minimalist and photographed garlic cloves.
Thursday Challenge is “FOOD” (Food Markets, Ingredients, Cooking, Baking, Pots, Pans,…).
Next week is GREEN (Fruit, Vegetables, Animals, Clothing, Vehicles,…).
