Ho, ho, ho
This is the view from my back window today:
I am beginning to despair...
In happier news, after a long, hard search (well, if you can call trolling craigslist and kijiji for a month "long and hard"), I finally found a corner china cabinet. We picked it up last weekend and I couldn't be happier with it.
I was finally able to get my piles of dishes off the dining room floor (and I'm not kidding!).
And after reading this post from Kristin I was inspired to start my own annual seedlings for the first time. After accidentally losing most of the lobelia seeds (they are like DUST! I didn't even see them coming out of the package), it'll be a miracle if anything comes up. But it's fun trying, since it's certainly going to be awhile before we see anything green outside...

I love the corner cabinet (and the color of the walls).
That cabinet looks identical to one I gave my mother! We bought a dining room set (antique? maybe?) at an estate sale (ok it was more like a garage sale, but roll with me). Anyway, we ended up with two china cabinets, so I gave my mom the smaller one that didn't match. :-) She didn't care, she loved it, because she has so many knick-knacks she wanted a place to display them.
And, I, too, LOVE the color of your walls!
I'm surprised to see the snowfall you got - in April! Gawsh. I feel for you. February and March are so hard on me for many reasons, but the lack of sunlight and greenery really starts wearing on the soul. I hope you get a lovely springtime real soon.
Curious about your plans for moving, since you're planting seeds? Update me. :-)
