12 in 12 (February 2014)

The 12 photos in 12 hours project is supposed to happen on the 12th day of the month, but this month, I was sick and spent the 12th mostly in bed, which would have made for a very boring blog post. I rescheduled for the following week, and ended up shooting our day yesterday instead.

Don't forget to stop by No Monsters in My Bed and Not-So-SAHM to see how their (actual) 12ths went!

7:45 AM. I'm trying to drink less caffeine, which means my new morning pick-me-up is rooibos tea. It is...an acquired taste? And I just don't seem to have acquired it yet? But I'm trying.





9:30 AM. A little art after breakfast.



10:30 AM: A. surveys the neighborhood and reports back to me on who is taking their trash out, walking their dog, etc. She is going to make an excellent busybody some day.



11:00 AM. Zoo Tales with friends B. and T. We meet a tenrec (and get to pet him!) and encounter a beautiful and saucy peacock.




12:30 PM. Anouk has a hankering to visit our old house on the way home so we stop by. We still love you, little house. We hope your new inhabitants will treat you well.



2:45 PM: I do some yard work after lunch -- with the sun shining and the weather almost 60 degrees, it could pass for spring. I start to whip the patio off the kitchen into shape (I'm envisioning an herb garden and bed of peonies) but it's going to take more than a day to make it happen. With the leaves raked away I see that the daffodils are peeking their heads out all over the backyard.




4:30 PM. Chalking the walk with our friends next door. First barefoot day of 2014!
