- Paternity leave. I’m looking, as of last Friday, at 10 weeks of no work and lots of hanging out with a 4-month old!
- Marketing Excellence Awards. I’m humbled, to say the least, to have received the Marketer of the Year award from SMPS Colorado last week.
- Leaves. It always takes longer in Colorado—but the leaves are finally on the trees! The days of barren spindly branches are done with. (For now.)
- Miller moths. Another seasonal delight that had my toddler terrified and delighted.
- Spray paint. I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that last week marked the first time I’ve ever used spray paint. That stuff is great!
- Anything Is Possible by Elizabeth Strout. A delightful collection of linked stories that brings to life the anecdotes threaded throughout Strout’s novel My Name Is Lucy Barton.
- Garden in a box. Our latest installment of the “garden in a box” program happened last week. We are slowly replacing our front lawn with “water-wise” plants.
