You can never have too many clamps!

Today Aaron and I veneered the top of our table (still on track to be completed in 2012). I got Aaron some clamps for Valentine's Day (nothing says, "I love you " like a set of bar clamps). That whetted his appetite and he found a clamp sale. One thing led to another and now you know what we need.... a clamp holder. Anyway... here's what veneering looks like.

We also planted our new finds from the flower and garden show. That just made us want to have even more so we went to the nursery and got even more flowers. Like clamps, you never can have too many flowers. Our bulbs are busting out of the soil AND we even have our first bloom. Thaaank goodness. Between the one crocus and Griffy signing, we know spring is nearly here.

Flower Show / Lion King Whirl Wind Tour

Holy Cows whatta day. In short:

I left work early and Aaron met me downtown. We sprinted to the convention center for the 21st annual Northwest Flower and Garden Show. It was stunning as always. We were guest bloggers for the 2nd time. It should end up on: http://www.mygardenblogs.com/NWblog/ sometime tomorrow.

After about 3 1/2 hours of buying exotic tubers and bulbs and saying "hello" to our favorite dahlia dealers (The Dahlia Barn) we grabbed a little dinner on the go, wrote the blog from my office, and then headed to the Broadway Tour of Lion King. Let me just say ALL the hype is true. Mark it on the calendar, I was misty before the end of the first number. It was AWESOME!!!

Here are some photos from garden day.

Stunning Orchids

Sadly, we'd kill them waay too fast to warrent buying any.

Anner's first dahlia purchase of the day.

Aaron & Anner at the Dahlia Barn (3rd dahlia purchase of the day)

We want one of these!!! What mystery and suspense....

I need this too! A giant wood carved eagle surrounded

by circles of heaths and heathers. It'll go great in the

the front yard.... a nice compliment to the flag.
