Pop, Clink, Fizz! It's the weekend and I've got a sparkling citrus sangria for you to try. As some of you may know, I have a slight love for grapefruit. I think it's safe to say it's my favorite fruit and I'm confident that grapefruit season keeps my winter blues away!
This weekend will be pretty low key for us which I don't mind one bit. It's been raining all week so I'm looking forward to some sunshine and getting more work done in the garden. I need to mulch the flower beds and throw in a few lingering tulip bulbs that never got planted this fall. (Oops!) I also got some new window treatments for our living room so I plan on throwing a few winks at Daniel tonight in hopes that he'll help me hang them tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy your weekend too!
