12 of 12 June

Here is this month's 12 of 12. If you are new to 12 of 12, well, it was started by Chad Darnell and the "assignment" is to take 12 photos on the 12th of the month depicting your day. Here was my day.

Started out with an MRI and Bone Density testing at Kaiser. Haven't been to the main hospital in many years (four years ago for my mom and three years ago for the birth of a friend's twins). Hasn't changed since I was a kid. However, they are now a totally smoke-free campus. I meant to take a photo of their new sign, but was so relieved to get out of there that I took this one as I left the parking lot. Sacramento 10:45 am

Next stop: the Bank. They are remodeling so the sign out front was all that was interesting. Sacramento 11:00 am

My sunhat, cell phone wrapped by my Big Dog hair scrunchie and the book I am reading on the front seat of the car. Wicked, by Gregory Maguire. I am enjoying seeing a story from a different point of view. The other points of view from stories have always interested me, but I never actually acted on those views.

And then to work. Trafffic on westbound Interstate 80 on the Yolo Causeway. Yes, the windshield dirty, again. Or is it still? 11:20 am


My Desk. Vacaville, CA Noon.


Broken Window in the rental space at our offices. Vacaville 3:30pm Not sure when it happened. Sometime between 10am and 2pm


On my way home. Interstate 5 just over the Sacramento River. Stuck in traffic. Running on the electric motor. 5:56pm


Home is where the Quail are. Elverta CA 6:30pm. There are at least twenty babies with this group. And are they ever quick to hide.


Grapes. Will we get any this year? Great crop, but in years past, we have not gotten any. The birds always get there before we do. Elverta CA 7:00 pm


And last but not least, the citrus grove. Elverta CA 7:05pm
All-in-all, not a bad day.
