Stay tuned for an update for the 'Spring Gathering of Friends' that was held yesterday at the shop (The Colonial Housefitter). Have a wonderful weekend!

Serenity Sunday...week 45

Meidland Red Rose

Picture perfect smiles
Laughter in the wind
Children chasing rainbows
Simple signs of spring…

Spring has finally sprung and it seems that Mother Nature has decided to play along. Temps around here have been great and for the most part (except in the higher locations) snow has melted. I can't wait to see the grass greening up and leaves on the trees.
I saw a lilac tree yesterday...
buds are growing and in my ever hopeful mind...
I see the bursting buds and perfumed flowers.

Where does the time go?

(Just something to dream about...)

Just a quick note tonight. I had plans for a couple of blogs this week and poof! It is already Saturday night. It seems like it was just Monday ... how can this be?

(...dream fuel...almost...or at least it feels attainable to me now...)

The snow has pretty much melted around these parts and now the mud season begins. It doesn't last forever...just until we have a few days of rain to cleanse the winter leftovers and silt from the de-icing of the roads all winter long. I dream long dreams of color and green. I close my eyes and can almost see the greening up of the lawns and the first baby leaves on the trees. My Grandpa always said the leaves will be in full, by May 10th. Well, if you're not from around here, you won't understand...but if you are a native Central New Yorker...you will not only understand, but dwell upon that very promise. I do and I check and I'll be darned if he wasn't right! Right now....that seems a million days away from now.......

Serenity Sunday...week 44

LIFE is what happens to you

while you're busy making other plans...

Do you think if we all 'think spring' it'll happen??

Go 'CUSE

Go 'CUSE!!!!!!

"SHUT IT DOWN"

GO "CUSE!

Had to share this picture of the "Snow'cuse Castle" that the kids across the street spent all morning making. I saw the curved wall when I got up this morning. It was probably too dark to see when I got home last night. All morning they worked on this and the Orangeman standing next to it! Talk about design skills...to me...this is an excellent use of color and texture to exemplify the loyalty any Orangeman fan worth their salt will endure. BIG game tonight against Villanova....

Merry Christmas...again!

Merry Christmas...again...I think!

The picture above reminds me of black and white toile.

It's snowing like crazy out there. I shoveled for the third time,

a little while ago and the total is creeping up toward my knees.

I'd say there's about 10 or so inches already.

The weather man is predicting 12-18 inches by morning for a total of 12-24 for the storm.

Although, I agree it's kind of pretty and it defines the structure of the tree branches,

is a good example of texture and the strength of Mother Nature,

I prefer to think about spring...

Are we there yet?
