Dawn, A storm has formed to the west of the city. It's moving N/NE and should be here at 3:47 pm. I have the hail hats on the cucumber and the cover over the other plants. We'll see if it is needed and, if it is, if it holds. Reed

Wow...that made tears come to my eyes. That was my sister and her (soon to be ex) husband's song. I remember we had to search high and low to find it for the DJ to play for their first dance. And, well, I shamefully admit to being a huge KC fan. Shake Shake Shake. Shake Shake Shake. Shake your booty...shake your booty! Wasn't Celebrate by Kool & the Gang?

I am still amazed! First they said an inch or two for today, then it went up to 4 inches, then 6 inches which wouldn't have been bad. Then this morning I heard 12 inches and we got every bit of that 12 inches!! Probably more. Pris I envy you! We get lots of snow of course, but good gosh since Christmas it has been non stop! Like every stinking week-end. It gets old really fast even though we are used to it. Of course I had plans today and by 11 am couldn't even get my car out of the garage, I know I'd have gotten stuck. DH is gone with the 4 wheel drive. The experts are now talking flooding again this spring like last year. My county is still trying to fix all the damages done almost a year ago. I am desperately hoping we skip spring this year and go directly to JULY!!!!!!! Now that is my kinda weather.

Thank you for the color suggestions! All the walls in my house are the same light color and my living room has several different grays. Therefore, I'm trying to avoid gray, beige or white kitchen cabinets. There really is not much color overall in my house. I was trying to go bold but tasteful and semi contemporary with the kitchen. I'll really have to focus on the showrooms and colors I see in person as I continue with designers. Even though all the colors I see online look great I think they will just mislead me.
