Yesterday I noticed the first of my Virginia bluebells poking their leaves up out of the ground. After the daffodils, these are the next charmers to grace the garden in spring, followed by tulips. Hope is on the way! I’ve been craving the spring and go out to my pond to visit my fish, all…

Our thoughts turn to lighter colors, Easter celebrations, and all things that welcome longer days with slightly warmer breezes.

In my mind, work has already started on my garden. I’m dreaming of more flowers and less vegetables because truth be told, we don’t eat all the vegetables and I hate to see them rotting on the vine. My Style Showcase friends seem to be on the same mind track today as three of us…

Is it spring, or is it winter? Here in the Chicago area we’ve reached that awkward phase where it looks like spring might be here, but we’re sure to get a few snow days between now and the end of March. I can already see some of my spring bulbs poking leaves through the ground….

February is a short month, and then spring officially arrives on March 19th. This is the self-talk I have to go through…
The bathroom floor guys arrived Monday morning and they dropped the toilet when removing it, which broke the connecting pipe sticking out of the wall. Water sprayed all over (not too bad though), and they had to call the plumber to fix it (at least I didn’t have to pay for the plumber). Ugh. I’ll…
We’re halfway through January and I’m really happy about that because this week we’ve reached below zero degree temperatures. Ugh. I try not to think about it too much, but it’s hard to ignore when you look out the window and see a foot of snow in the yard. It’s a good thing I have…

You’ll never believe what I did Christmas day. I wallpapered the bathroom! Since we already celebrated our family Christmas in Galena, it left the day open for anything. And I chose to hang wallpaper after hubby and I exchanged gifts. It’s so nice to have that project done, and it’s a little ironic that my…
