Lovely Things from May

Homemade ‘za

I have a column in my planner that’s simply called “Lovely Things.” It sits right opposite the “To-Do” list, as a reminder to stop and smell the proverbial flowers. When I added this trifle early in 2020, I had no idea how odd everything would get, or how much ugliness I’d see.

Guys, it’s been a rough one. I’m sorry. I hope you’re safe, and near the people you love.
