I went to "Colorfest" with Tammy and a bunch of ladies on Saturday.  It was in a country town near a mountain range (or large hills according to John) close to Virginia.  I was told it was close to Camp David, the President's country retreat.  The Maryland countryside is beautiful with hills, trees, and the occasional thoroughbred farm.  At Colorfest, it was super relaxing to just walk around and look at art and such.  It was even more relaxing when one of the ladies bought something from a wood carver and he gave us white sangria from a Maryland vineyard.  I love sangria.  

 A Japanese Maple.  They are cute and turn red.  I want one of these when I get a house...someday.  

 Tammy.  

 A miniature hay baler.  

 A pansy.  Apparently they are hardier than their name suggests because you can dust snow off of them and they will still be flowering.  

 I went to Tammy's on Sunday to watch the Ravens and Redskins football games, although I spent most of my time eating shrimp and various other tidbits and drinking raspberry wine mixed with Chardonnay.  

 Tammy gave me a freshly steamed Maryland crab with Old Bay sprinkled on it.  

 The guys not only told me how to eat them, but how to catch them.  One also mentioned that they are scavengers and might have just eaten a dead guy at the bottom of the bay in Baltimore--how lovely.

We got a 30 inch pizza for dinner.  I've never seen one so big.  Tammy's husband said that people were gawking when he walked out of the cafe with it.
