He's so stinkin cute :) I just ran across your blog and I’m in love! I am big on remodeling anything and never leaving ‘well enough’ alone! Your blog is inspiring to say the least!

Holidays are bad for my waistline however, so next week, when I return to below freezing mornings in Canberra, I'll be scraping the icicles off my nose while I work off those extra kilos. Joy.

It's beginning to get cold here and it is very dry this time of the year. Winter sucks!!!Thanks God here it lasts two months, at the most. This is the first time I post a comment here, but I've been reading your blog for a while. Very interesting!!! At the moment, I am also concerned about my house. It is an apartment, to say the truth. I've changed some things already, but there is still some work to do with the floor and the kitchen before I move in. While things are not arranged yet, I visit blogs to pick up some great ideas for the decoration. Your dogs are so cute!!! I’m in Brasília, Brazil.

A frost warning. In May. That said, the dog and I wrapped up in a blanket on the couch reading, listening to music and eating cookies. I love your doggies!

I am trying to figure out how I am going to cover the impatients I just planted. I can't believe there is a freeze warning tonight. The good news is that tomorrow it will rise into the 70's and then 80's on Wed. At least the ground is soft and wet for digging and planting and with Memorial weekend coming up it will hopefully be good weather for your staining project and perhaps some planting.
