Link Love

The countdown has begun. The first day of Spring is less than one month away. There are hopeful signs of the transition from the dark Winter gloom to longer, brighter Spring days. Flowers are blooming. My wine preferences have shifted from red to white (had this lovely rosé on Tuesday). Winter clearance sales are everywhere -- including 40% off at Nordstrom.

Look forward to celebrating the full seasonal shift soon. Until then, I'll enjoy my rosé wine, while hibernating in my home. Rolled up in a blanket. Eating warm comfort food. Lounging on the sofa.

Enjoy Link Love and have a lovely (hopefully sunny) weekend.
