I see no sign of life yet on it. My forsythia is trying to bloom, but we had frost yesterday morning, so who knows what will happen with it.

I'm impressed that you cut them yourself; don't you feel proud? As for the cabinets; it's stressful to have more than one project going at a time, but you'll get it all finished I'm sure.<br /><br />Well, those brown Japanese Magnolia blossoms are a familiar sight at our house for sure -- par for the course. But your Azaleas -- darn, that's the pits. We've certainly had changeable weather so far this year.<br /><br />Have a great weekend, Debbie!<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-new-decoratingdesign-book.html#morenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-22449077467102513942013-02-07T22:06:14.148-05:002013-02-07T22:06:14.148-05:00Hey, I think those are the same tiles in my kitche...Hey, I think those are the same tiles in my kitchen!

Glutton for punishment, are you? ;-) Actually, I'm very impressed with your tile cutting, and your floor is going to be beautiful when you're finished. I'm sorry your pretty pinks couldn't cooperate and stay cheerful rather than succumb to the freeze... I've been praying for you, and it's nice to see your progress!

My husband would never allow me near that kind of machinery! Of course, I do all of the typing in his office, so he's really concerned about me losing a finger! LOVE your tile. That is going to look beautiful. It's kind of like having a baby. When you are enjoying the outcome of your labor, you sort of forget how difficult it was getting to that point. Oh, that pretty Dogwood and Azalea. How sad. I thought our Azalea was going to bloom, but it hasn't.

Do you have a death wish, woman?!?!? :-) I am impressed that you did the cutting. I get nowhere near that kind of thing. I have no clue, don't want a clue!!! You've heard that old adage that "That what don't kill ya, makes ya stronger"? You're gonna be able to wrestle & hog tie Popeye, The Hulk AND The Rock all at once after this, girl!!! I'm really sorry about your beautiful trees & bushes and REALLY sorry about the frustration your mega projects are causing. :-( A year from now you'll look back and....oh, who am I kidding? A year from now you'll be still freaked out about everything you went through! :-) Try to have a good one!!!!!!!
