The CK Daily – Low Key Weekends & Herb Gardens
Happy Monday!
I can’t believe that this is the last full week of April! It seems like this month has flown by and we’ll be in Summer in no time. I certainly enjoy the Spring weather and hope it lasts. Over the weekend we spent a lot of time outdoors tending a small herb garden. The kids enjoy being outside, which is awesome, because sometimes it’s really difficult to get them off their devices. It’s good to disconnect and enjoy some fresh air!
We’ve planted sage, oregano, basil, parsley, dill, lemon balm, and rosemary. It seems like our sage and oregano do just fine and have been coming back on their own year after year, but we have a hard time with the other herbs, it might be the location and the amount of sunlight these plants are getting, we’re going to do some experimenting this year to find the optimal location.
I enjoy low-key weekends like this from time to time. I think everyone here needed a break from doing stuff, and it was nice to enjoy the weekend and spend time together. I hope you had a great and restful weekend and have a great last week of April!

Learning Center Article – What is the difference between Cisco core switches and access switches?
When you’re designing a large network, you’re going to need multiple different switches, and in many cases, those switches won’t serve the same role. As the demand on a network rises, you can’t just add more switches ad hoc.
Instead, you need to layer your switches correctly. For major networks, the traditional design is to have core switches, distribution switches, and access switches. Today, we’re going to focus particularly on core and access switches, discussing their primary differences and everything you need to know to figure out which kinds of switches should go where in a network.
