The weather report is surprising – sunny and the low 70s for the foreseeable future. I celebrate until I look out into my yard and realize that there are mounds of gardening projects that should be tackled when there is no excuse of bad weather. If you plan to take a short break from pulling weeds this weekend, join ThurstonTalk at one of these events around town.
Reminder – next week is Spring Arts Walk, Procession of the Species and the Dragon Boat Festival. Turn to ThurstonTalk for all the information you need to plan an excellent weekend. Cheers!
