Free Admission Thursdays at Wave Hill
Extended hours, from 10 am to 5:30 at this garden of wonders! Tickets are required, but free for Thursdays. There is a public transportation option, although it is quite a schlep. Definitely a full-day trip (and worth it!). Metro-North to the Riverdale Station on the Hudson Line or the #1 Subway at Van Cortlandt Park/242 Street Station then the BX10 bus. Note: due to the pandemic, courtesy carts and wheelchairs are not available

I am addicted to Live Animal Cams. This picture is from a Kitten Rescue. I also watched bats in the rain and great dane puppies this morning. It all started because Buster wanted to watch puppies before bed as a way to feel all warm inside. I think of it as Pandemic Panacea. It's happiness on demand. From African wildlife to senior dogs, pick whatever makes you feel good.
