With a heat wave upon us this weekend, I plan to drop everything and head to the beach for some R & R. I’m also looking forward to dinner with special friends. I will try to avoid looking at my messy house as I shut the door behind me.
Have a chore-free weekend and stay cool.

- The Electric Intimacy of Alice Springs — I stumbled across this article and was wowed by Spring’s photographs!
