Weekend Reading 2.19.23

By Kate Riley February 19, 2023

Today we gave my Vespa a tune up and I got to take it out for a spin! I haven’t ridden it in two years, it’s been sitting in the garage needing a new battery, but when the sun came out I thought how fun to take it out again, and it was! I used to have such ag great time riding it back and forth to the market or around our small town but I stopped doing it during the pandemic. Tis the season to bring it out again!

I’m giving our downstairs study (and what used to be the kids’ playroom) a makeover this month. I’m making it a more mature space, adding glass doors to the wall of cabinets and turning it into a plant filled library. Look for that freshened space coming next month.

Favorite links from the week:
