Today we planted one. We went large shrub\/small tree shopping, and brought ourselves home a hydrangea tree. It&#8217;s quite wee right now, but it gives me a good excuse to buy new plants to put all around it. I really wanted something like a flowering dogwood tree (they were everywhere when I lived in North Carolina) but I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re the most hardy tree in Michigan. I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed that the one we bought will actually live.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been outside for the last couple of days, since it&#8217;s been too warm to keep the quilt on my lap when I work on it. Maybe someday we&#8217;ll invest in an air conditioner. Maybe not. Tomorrow&#8217;s supposed to be cooler, but I&#8217;m working in the evening too. I wonder if anyone would notice me doing that instead of typing. It&#8217;s not like they ever give me enough work to do anyway.<br \/>\nCountdown until my birthday: a few days!

I also like green candles, picture frames, and this coffee table from <a href=\"http:\/\/ww2.potterybarn.com\/cat\/pip.cfm?src=shpcfuroccctb%7Crshop%2Fshpcfuroccstb%7Crshop%2Fshpcfuroccstb%7Crshop%2Fshpcfurocccns%7Crshop%2Fshpcfuroccstb%7Crshop&#038;pkey=cfuroccctb&#038;gids=p4362\">Pottery Barn<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we decided the side of the house needed some sort of flowering tree.
