Happy weekend! Today we're putzing around the yard in the sunshine and blustery winds; it rained heavily yesterday, so the creek behind our house is a perfect combination of clear but really full rushing water. The view from our back deck makes all ambition, for doing anything on a Friday afternoon, float downstream. Tomorrow we're all headed to a Cinco de Mayo party that friends graciously host each year, and I'm excited to catch up with buddies we only get to see a few times a year. I hope you have a grand weekend, and I hope you enjoy my favorite links from the past week.
