Shane works all day on Saturday. His job takes him to the fine borough of Queens where he teaches jazz loving high schoolers how to swing and such. On many a Saturday our good friend, Beth, comes out to Brooklyn. Beth and I share a love of shopping and we often call each other to go and "touch things" in expensive shops. A typical Saturday usually ends with an episode or two of various home and gardening shows, or a house-flipping show. If we're lucky, we might catch an episode of The Barefoot Contessa or maybe even that program about the dreamer dwarf and his grumpy dwarf wife.



Today we changed it up a bit. Mahalia and I walked and walked thru Brooklyn. We cruised down Flatbush Ave. up to Prospect Park and thru the Botanic Gardens. We stopped to look at the Japanese Pond.



We stopped and looked at some funny pointy plants in the herb garden.



We admired seasonal fruits and vegetables at the Farmers Market at Grand Army Plaza.








We stopped at the Brooklyn Museum and I saw one very disturbing piece of art called Baby Girl by an Australian artist that creates gigantic, extremely lifelike sculptures. I couldn't find a picture of the Baby Girl. I found this one though called Big Man. It gives you an idea. It's extremely large in real life. The baby was fresh out of the womb with the umbilical cord and everything. It's around 20 feet long. Beth was with me but was too disturbed to look.















I splurged on a new lovely pair of striped socks.
