Canstruction 2025

After missing Canstruction last year, I made sure to get down to Brookfield Place to see the masterpieces this year! Once again, in a partnership with City Harvest, engineers, contractors, and architects were challenged to create works of art out of canned goods. The creations this year were so amazing and super creative!

My favorites were the capybaras, the bunny in the magician's hat, and pizza rat! There were a few nods to the upcoming North American-hosted World Cup and some a "RIP" to the MTA's MetroCard, which is now extinct. 

It is truly amazing what you can do with some cans and creativity. Given the current food insecurity crisis that many Americans are facing this year, it is nice to know that these works of art will go on to help feed those are in need. Works of art to acts of love and kindness thanks to City Harvest!

Two Home Countries

The Japanese Society currently has an amazingly beautiful exhibit called Two Home Countries on dosplay. The masterpiece was created by Chiharu Shiota at. The amazing installation marks the ending of World War 3 and the subsequent 80 years since the end of World War II.

Shiota’s work weaves together memory, identity, and loss, connecting the collective tragedy of war with her own reflections on mortality and what it means to live between two homes. It’s quiet, powerful, and deeply striking. It was a perfect little stop on a morning in the city.

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 46

The Good:

We had our first snow! It was just an afternoon of flurry squalls but it made my winter heart so so happy. 

The Random:

I needed to squirt some lemon juice on our salmon the other night and could only find....a (new!) medical syringe!

The Fun:

We had a fun axe-throwing day date yesterday! We both got pretty good by the end of our session, too.

Fall's Beauty

It has been a spectacular fall this year! I don't remember the colors being so varied and vibrant in the past few years. We've also actually had legitimate fall weather this year, so that's made it feel so perfect!

There is something so magical about fall. After a colorful summer, the leaves changing and falling bring this nice sense of slowing down as we all prepare to hibernate for the winter!
