Good morning from Woodstock, Maine where I started the weekend by walking my dogs in blustery 32F weather, brr… I’m hoping that it warms up a bit before I head out for a bike ride later this morning. Whether it’s hot, cold, dry, or rainy where you are this weekend, I hope that you have something fun planned too.
