         I had forgotten to do my 12 on 12 on the 12th this month so when I went out on Saturday I was only all too willing to get a bit snap happy. The day started out back in my old neighborhood at the annual library book sale. I stocked up and then we headed to my favorite places to shop: the farmers market, Trader Joes, and Wegmans. After that, we stopped off at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park since Saturday was also the Smithsonian's annual Museum Day Live . The park was beautiful, we had a nice walk and even ran into a wedding party. We took the long way home and had a great time meandering through the country looking at old barns, cows, and windmills.

I had a bit of a late start to the day but it ended up being quite productive nonetheless. I started out making a 3-minute English muffin to go with my omelette and then moved on to a couple of DIY projects: covered metal hangers, a plushie dog (made while listening to the audiobook for The Bollywood Affair ), and some homemade fly paper. Dinner was a salad with sunflower sprouts grown by a local boys home and the best watermelon I've had all summer.
