Dirt Road Adventures: April – The Hot & The Cold

Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.

Hey Friends, can you believe it’s almost mid-April? We were at the beach for 10 days over the Easter holiday, and after returning home, we are still catching up on March. The weather has been crazy! I’ve never turned my thermostat from heat to cool and back again so many times. The crazy thing is, I’m doing it several times in one day. One minute it feels like winter, and the next it’s summer. I’m ready for Spring to settle in, but not ready for Summer temperatures just yet. I like sweater weather in the Spring.

We did enjoy our beach time, which included celebrating Easter with friends, eating at our favorite restaurants, and a little shopping. Unfortunately, not much to report on thrift store shopping this trip.

I’m keeping it short and sweet this Sunday and will get back on track by next weekend.
