As we continue our days of social distancing, I am thinking of all of you who are working, parenting, teaching, and caregiving within the confines of your homes. There is certainly nothing simple or easy about this time. If you need a little distraction from the demands within your home, check out my favorite procrastination links from around the web this week…

• What a spot to hide from a virus. It's up the road from me, and a bargain at $1.5 million. (Thanks Christine!)

• I met Danielle at a conference a couple years ago and she is a real wrangler. Check out her soaps. I just ordered a trio for our stinky farmhands.

• Hubba hubba! (And I don’t mean the wallpaper!) 

• Floret Farm is now a part of the Magnolia family, and their series debuts this Sunday. Here's the teaser.

• Mood swings? Me too. (Thanks Marjorie!)

• Make sure the sound is on for this kitty. (Thanks Heather!) 

• If Corona is like a snake poking its head out a hole again this fall, I'll be better prepared. Going to stock up on some things that have really gotten me through, like smoked black pepper, pomegranate molasses, and jasmine pearls, which elevate the most mundane cup of tea. More ideas for interesting pantry items here from Bon Appétit.

• Trying to figure out how to best preserve the outbuilding we call "Smokey's Hideaway." Love this idea.

• This kitchen!! 

• This is not my usual hyperlink but I found this Navy SEAL's breakdown of Hollywood's military action sequences very, very entertaining.

• My friend Brooke sent this post along. She thought I’d appreciate the Dutch door and the chicken. It’s handsome Fernando who caught my eye. Following him now. What a design genius!

• Your lockdown laugh of the week.
