have a delightful weekend + links

lately it has been really cold, dreary, gloomy, rainy and did i already say cold? well it deserves a second mention. so we're officially calling it hat weather. 

what are your plans for the weekend?

we're hoping to squeeze in an apple picking trip we didn't get to go last weekend {although we would love to be in new york city for comic con/anime convention}. when we tried to go {the orchard doesn't allow dogs}, piri went bonkers - trying to squeeze through the door to get out and scratching at the door when we closed it. his reaction completely threw us off and we ended up canceling our trip. here's to better luck this weekend {please don't rain}.

whatever it is you have planned, or not, have a delightful weekend and hope you enjoy these links.

ps - thank you so much for noticing the layout change to the blog and leaving thoughtful comments. i was a bit embarrassed and didn't really mention it. my old blog felt like a cluttered room {you know the kind of clutter during colder days}. now it just feels like i hid the mess under the bed and closet hoping that people won't notice the mess that still exists. hopefully one of these days i'll get my ducks in row and have a nice design and layout with a color scheme to boot. yes.. one of these days.
