The first great patio day is an important holiday around here. I like to say I put up with the Midwest winters because they make the other seasons more special. That first spring day when you get to feel the sun on your skin again (in moderation, with sunscreen) after months of hibernation are so freaking glorious.

This year, the first great patio day happened to fall on Easter, so while everyone else was in church and hanging with their families, we heathens enjoyed a nice walk along the downtown canal, followed by a delicious al fresco meal at Hedge Row. There were no crowds, no shoppers, just a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. Perfect for celebrating rebirth, whatever that means to you.

(Oh, P.S. HEY MOMS (especially mine). HAPPY DAY TO YOU.)

Check it out – this is a headband that’s made to look like you’ve artfully tied a silk scarf around your head. Because tying a scarf yourself is for paupers. I’m a woman of means who has no problem dropping 8 whole dollars (with tax that’s almost a Hamilton, folks) for someone to do the work for me. I’m very fancy.

(Actually now that I think about it, at that price, the person who did the work probably didn’t get paid a whole lot, so if anyone can tell me where to get a more ethically produced fancy-ass headband, please advise.)
