Friday Links: Strange Weather Edition

I don’t know about where you all live, but here in Southern Oregon the weather has been all over the place. We’ve gone from rain to hail to sunny days and freezing nights. It sure has been hard to pick something to wear lately! And the weather doesn’t do much for my health either. I’ve been struggling with migraines, as we go from one extreme to the other. It looks like we’re going to settle into a few days of sunshine, though. I’m glad.
