Welcome to the Sunday Edition of Two Minutes Du Jour. Summer is going strong. The Olympics are underway. Baseball is in full swing. Farmers markets boast local produce. I hope you’re finding joy in the season.
This past week, posts explored eclectic topics related to enrich our lives through daily discoveries, and there are more to come in the week ahead.
If these catch your interest – or you simply wonder what was the topic that led to these sources – there is a search box on the Two Minutes Du Jour home page.
Wishing you a wonderful wrap to the weekend!
