It's officially spring now, y'all. Thank goodness. All those ice days and time off were wearing us out. Now we can all just go back to being one of the greatest little cities ever and keep on keeping on. It's time to get our rain and festival on. You guys have fun going out this week, we'll be running around trying to keep up with you all. Don't forget to tag your pics and grams with #WDDI to be included in Monday's What We Did post.
Oh yeah - see you on the courthouse lawn Tuesday night!

Crafty with a cause, y'all. SCRAP is launching a fundraising campaign where yarn bombing and pink flamingos are involved. We see only wonderful possibilities and loads of fun with this. Their campaign just launched earlier this week and we highlighted it in our recent Crowd-funding post. We may not know how to knit, but I have a feeling that a beer and some inspiration would go a long way in this effort.
