Junuary

Yes, that's what it is around here. They're forecasting 6-12" of snow in the passes!

On a happier note, I received my wonderful swap buttons from Michelle. For more button photos, do visit the Flickr group.

My dogwood doesn't seem to realize that winter's still here. So pretty!
Satomi dogwood (cornus kousa)
We're empty-nesters this week. It's going to be very, very strange. I'm planning on getting some things done, including painting the new fireplace mantel (remember?), which will be the final step in the project. Next we're moving on to the kitchen. This will be a little more of a costly project, I'm afraid.

    Love the buttons. I can't believe you are still having winter weather in June! We are getting hot winds and dust in the high 90's. Miserable! Love the dogwood. blessings, Kathleen

    I love the whale and the little hedgehog. It's sweltering here, wish I could send some your way.

    Cute buttons!

    I'll swap your empty nest and snow, for sunshine and two brats... (I've got a week to go before summer preschool starts)

    The dogwood is heartbreakingly beautiful! That's an amazing shade of pink and I love the flower centers!
