Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

It's the weekend, although that has a lot less meaning than it used to, and I'm ready to get outside. We have had gorgeous weather all week, but it's been a little too cold for swimming. That all changes this weekend and that's why it seemed like the perfect time to remind everyone that Ohio actually has some pretty fun beaches. You can splash around, soak up the sun, and stay a safe distance away from others while you're doing it. Don't forget to wear your sunscreen and to follow social distancing guidelines while out and about.

Looking To Add A Little Greenery To Your Life? Visit The Plant Library In Gahanna

🌵

I truly don't understand why every neighborhood and community doesn't have its own plant library. This unique and adorable community project offers free plant trades, and occasionally free planting and gardening items as well. Get your green thumb on, friends.
