This and That

(Local strawberries. Shari’s Berries have some lovely, fresh gifts for Mother’s Day.)

This week was spent recovering from our Easter celebrations. The boys are still on a candy high and I don’t foresee the end of that anytime soon.  The weather is officially entering the “hot” phase of the spring, and we’re trying to enjoy being outside while the temperatures aren’t in the triple digits. Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.

“Why performance art is so silly.”  I can’t help it, I love stuff like this!

Meryl Streep’s words of advice as she received an honorary doctorate recently.

A beautiful short film about fashion industry workers.

Shayla shared this post with me. It’s a very well-written and thoroughly researched article about supporting Bangladesh.

Frank Deford, my favorite sports writer, on the way things used to be.  He always gets it right.

Libraries are hiring social workers to assist their homeless patrons.

“North Korea’s Fashion Police.”

And creepy photographs of abandoned malls.

Have a wonderful weekend!
