Weekly 5 is a round-up the past week’s creative news, discoveries, and happenings in my world!
Best thing that happened in my world this week:
Spring temperatures have landed in Phoenix, allowing us time to have the windows open in the early and later hours. With darkness now arriving after 6:00 pm, we have been able to enjoy time relaxing on our patio to decompress from the work day, have long conversations and give our pups time to play and chase lizards to their hearts’ content. One evening this past week, the sky gifted us the amazing view below. We will certainly take advantage while we can – before long the triple-digits will be here!

Why is the Mona Lisa so famous?
From ARTnews
What’s so special about the Mona Lisa, and why do we care so much? History professor and recent Leonardo biographer Walter Isaacson argues that she’s famous because viewers can emotionally engage with her. Others claim that her mystery has helped make her notorious.
