Spring

 Happy Friday Friends.    Yesterday was the first day of spring; such a glorious day it was!  As I mentioned, my day was full with activities that made me smile-a walk with a good friend, a lunch out with ladies from church and of course  babysitting grands. Don't these Tulips just scream spring!  Love them and would love to see them in my yard; even though we are seeing plants at the nurseries, it would be a waste of money to plant them already-we've got lots more snow in the next month or so.
             
In the afternoon hubby and I went to the furniture store to pick up the night stands we ordered.   
So we got the two boxes home from the furniture store and opened them; you aren't going to believe this-when we ordered them, the one we had found matched the antique dresser so well. Hubby did ask if we could buy the floor sample and they said no. There was also a tag on it to say that the stains on wood vary and you can't expect them to match perfectly.  Hummm.  I am sorry to say, the two we got are darker brown.  Not to worry though, because we will just just them in family room for end tables-which is probably what they should be for anyway.  Today, we are heading to a more upscale, expensive store that is known for its quality and locally built furniture.  We will take along our sample and see if we can find something there.  I'm hoping we do.  This has been the only hiccup so far; if this is as bad as it gets, then I'm fine with it. I don't have an issue with mixing the tones of the wood(medium and dark)-if they are all brown, but hubby wants it to look really nice.  We'll see.  This afternoon I get to spend time with the other grands-one of my favorite things to do. 
Tomorrow we have snow in the forecast and I see more packing in the kitchen. We won't be moving until the beginning of May, but want most of it done before our vacation.
Have a wonderful Friday and a fun weekend.
Blessings,
