Happy Saturday. It’s a rainy one here and we have nothing but rain in the forecast for the next 7 days. I thought we were in the clear but mother nature had other plans for us. Hopefully it just means more flowers when the sun finally comes up. No plans for us this weekend other than me hopefully finally tackling the chaotic nightmare that is my closet. Wish me luck.

Here’s the best of the week…
