WHOA. Talk about a mood booster from my inbox this morning: Ferdinand is offering at 50% off voucher ($10 for $20 worth of credit) at the Living Social deal site. You can get Valentine’s Day cards, fake mustaches, screen printed t-shirts, vintage goodies and more while you’re there. I just bought mine, so now you go get yours. (P.S. you should be spending twenty real dollars at Diane’s shop anyways so this is just icing on the cake!)
Ferdinand is located in Portland, Maine on the East End of Congress St., between Washington Ave and India St. You can go get a slice at Otto while you’re there, hopefully they’ve got a fresh cranberry, butternut and ricotta pie cooling.
That dumb groundhog ‘saw his shadow’ although apparently he’s been ‘wrong’ 39% over the last 100 years or something like that. Still – it’s discouraging news. Though the winter has been mild, the mildest I can remember for a long time, I’m longing a bit for green grass, barbecues and warm, summer breezes. Here are some pictures from last year’s Memorial Day barbecue that made me particularly happy tonight:
