Linking up with Kelly. —1— I’ve gone to a few shows/concerts over the past few weeks, beginning with a ballet performance of The Golden Cockerel put on by the American Ballet Theatre.

Linking up with Kelly. —1— It’s still technically spring, but it feels like summer in New York City, and the season of street fairs is upon us.
