I’m happy to be back at the farm now that my son and his girlfriend have completed their two-week isolation. And, I’m looking forward to tackling the many spring projects that await us. My thoughts and love go out to all of you who may be sick or lost loved ones during this terrible pandemic. As we all continue to stay at home and do what we can to stop the spread of this horrific virus, take a moment away to enjoy my favorite procrastination links from around the web this week…

• Let's get real. Advice for parents homeschooling and working. 

• A great short read about young love and isolation. (Thanks Liz!)

• Mailchimp is sponsoring the SXSW short films for your viewing pleasure.

• Your COVID laughs of the week: the perfect way to spend quarantine. In the Air Tonight: COVID Edition.Watch this kid whose dad looks like the food critic from Ratatouille. And this family slays!

• I'm sure this is just my pandemic lens but goodness gracious, this townhome for sale in D.C. has bedrooms just made for a lockdown. (Thank you Marjorie!)

• Where to do this fabulous wallpaper?? A walk-in humidor? A lavatory in a men's club? An upscale marijuana shop?

• “But the truth is, what you do while you wait is what you’ll remember.”

• I've been following the daily reports written and tweeted by Dr. Craig Smith, chair, Dept of Surgery at Columbia University in New York. Here's his latest.

• Oh! This tiny desk concert was the soundtrack to our dinner this week and it sooo lifted our spirits!

• This obituary is a must-read and will give you some perspective. (Apologizing if you hit a paywall.)
