Happy weekend! We did a double take when looking at the dates for this post - it’s MAY! As chaotic as the world is right now, seeing everything come into bloom over the past week has been strangely comforting. Green buds on the trees, tulips popping up downtown, and even a 60+ degree day - it’s been a spirit lifter, for sure. The weather app says sunshine and warm weather for this weekend, so we hope you’re able to get out (you know, to your porch or backyard) and enjoy it. Here are a few things that are on our radar:
Margaritas, Chips + Guac: Cinco de Mayo is Tuesday, and there couldn’t be a better day for one of our downtown favorites, Raul’s, to re-open for take-out. We have a sneaking suspicion that their phone will be ringing off the hook! Follow them here for the latest on their updated hours and how to order.
Whiskey Spritz: Did you catch our Happy Hour with [farmacy] last week? Jon shared a quick and easy recipe for a Whiskey Spritz, and all of a sudden we’re inspired to take our at home cocktail game up a notch. If you’re in the mood for a drink this weekend, give it a try - watch here.
Face Masks: Who would’ve thought a couple months ago that I’d be browsing the internet for cute face masks? MinkyMink has you covered (pun intended) and it looks like they’re getting a re-stock in this week. Grab the details here!
All Things Garden: One of our Washington County favorites, Gardenworks, is re-opening this weekend (with safety in mind!), and their plant list has us even more inspired to get started on our backyard garden. Check out what they have in stock and see all of their details here.
Online Classes: I know, who in their right mind is thinking about classes right now? Staying at home will do that to you ;) SUNY Adirondack Continuing Ed is offering 10 free online classes for professional development, and since we’re always looking for the latest and greatest tips, we can’t wait to check a few of them out (especially those geared toward small businesses!). Find them here.
Enjoy the weekend, and stay well -
Bri + Tom
P.S. In case you missed it, we checked in with both Lisa Camp and Tricia Rogers this week - find them here.
