Link Love: Making the Best of the Situation Edition

We were supposed to be moving today, but it isn’t going quite as planned. In fact, we’re pretty much stuck right now. So I’m trying to make the best of the situation, but it’s a bit hard to see the forest for the trees at the moment.  I’ll leave you with some great green reads for your weekend and hopefully I’ll be back to my regular posting next week:
