Hey everyone !

[mart]

How is the weather in your area ??   We had 80`s last week and 20`s this week !  Can`t outguess the weather !  Never know what to wear !

Pretty much the same several hundred miles northeast of you. 80 last week. Today we've got snow flurries and maybe 2 inches of accumulation tonight.

On the positive side, I've got a New Orleans mahogany center table ca. 1850 coming, hopefully today. I've already got a space for it.....can't wait to see it "in person."

Any new goodies on your part?

ghopper1924 can't wait to see a pic of your center table.

Do you know the history of a Center Table?  That it was originally called a "Rent Table"?  Just a little trivia for you to peruse if you didn't know it! 

3 days ago up to 80.  2 days ago ice pellets pelting the yard/pool.  Yesterday and today 78.  Tonight going to low 30's with snow and sleet predicted tomorrow.  Gotta' love Texas!

Fascinating, KC.

My table was made ca. 1850, evidently a long time after drum tables were for rent. Mine is rococo revival, and still has a note in French on the inside of the frame from 150 years ago. Not sure it's legible, but pretty cool, eh?

Sleet and light snow here already !   Can`t wait to see Ghopper !

Ditto in the Carolinas, 80s last week, cold this weekend. The good news is, cold doesn't hang around long here.

Time changed so spring is on the way ??  I hope !!

LOL, well, spring on the way for sure but there are ALWAYS a few bumps in that road. Has seen it snow here on April 1st which is very odd for a sub-tropical climate but, it has happened! Was getting ready to over-seed my front lawn last week but as it was 28 degrees here this morning I put that on the back burner!
I notice neighbors putting bags or wrapping with plastic their prize shrubs, guesses they were budding and freeze would harm them? Not a plant person so don't know what's up with that, looks weird though!
