Some Good Stuff to Try this Weekend

tall pine trees lined on one side of the street with the sun shining through
These enormous pine trees are in our neighborhood. I pass them when I’m out for a walk. They make me so happy.

Almost a month into 2019, can you believe it? How have things been for you so far this year? I’ve been pretty busy but enjoying the routine.
