OOoooooo!!!! I've always wanted to go to a weekend dog event. My cousin takes her pug to stuff like that. I am excited to see your Limona so you'd better post pics. Mine is still sound asleep.

Hope everyone is having a terrific Mother's Day! My boys got me some new Williams Sonoma microplanes for my kitchen. And the hubs got me what I ask for every year - several hours of "me time." Every year I ask for him to take the boys and leave the house. Checking in on this thread is such a huge boost. Thank you all for your sweet comments! It means so much to hear the applause on a project that is so personal. MareLuce, the rack consists of 1x2 sides and shelves, and 1/4" flat stock rails on the front. You can buy the flat stock in the craft wood section at Lowe's. The whole thing is pieced together with dowels at each joint. The shelves are also just ever so slightly angled, to keep the books pitched back. You can see closeups in the tutorial here. taggie, the boulangerie sign was a TJ Maxx find years ago for just a couple of dollars. As a gf household, I do a lot of baking, though not as much bread baking as the sign might indicate. It was the only thing I kept from the old kitchen. Here's a closeup of the glass in the upper cabs. It's Clear Coral from Bendheim cabinet glass. and I used Clear Soft Wave in our liquor hutch on the other side of the room, also from Bendheim. I can't say good enough things about Bendheim. They had so many options, and shipped the glass quickly and packed really well. abfabamy, I saw a version of the knife pull-out in another gwers finished kitchen. Unfortunately I don't remember who it belonged to. Their finished kitchen was posted just as we were doing demo. It was a white kitchen and the pullout was by the sink. Ours is a 3" filler piece for the front, then a drawer box made of plywood turned on it's side with 3 overtravel drawer slides. 2 probably would have been plenty, but I wanted to make sure of a really nice , smooth motion. tmy jax, hopefully your lax weekend is less eventful than mine. DS1 took a hard check to the chest, and I spent a couple hours at the hospital yesterday. No cracked ribs, just some deep chest wall bruising. He can't breathe deep and everytime he sneezes(pollen is high right now) he just about doubles over in pain. He's still hoping to play Monday against Corning. Laxers are nuts.

Hi Bonza According to the lady in Nelson the garden trail is one of THE events for the top end of the south. All sorts of yummy gardens and social events. Which Heuchera did you get? I've been eyeing up 'Midnight Claret' and making mental moves in the garden to accommodate it but the reality has yet to catch up! I've noticed that several of them are great for about three years then they really need division and a new site. Has that been your experience? I also like the Tiarellas - all those foamy flowers and the interesting leaf patterns. For me, they go well with Hostas and the big Catlins Giant Ajuga. Very vigorous when fed. Hope you can call by again to keep us up with gardening in your area.
