"Whispers of Spring..."
Random Tidbits today...
- Last week was beyond crazy with work and other projects. I was SO stressed, it is not funny. Luckily, things are starting to smooth out and I am feeling much better about everything. But let's just say I consumed more coffee last week than I have in a long, long time...in order to get me through the days!
- Sunday evening, we drove around for some photography sessions. LOVED it. Hence, where the Cherry Blossom Photos came from (at least...that's what I think that is...right? Hm...) I also got some great downtown photos that I loved...more to come soon! In the mean time, I've been doing good with my 365 project that I started a couple of weeks ago...
- Exercising has been going great...I'm pretty faithful in getting some time on the track and doing Pilates. I am just wanting to focus on some strength training a bit more now. Oh, and I want to get some more aerobics going!
- Over the weekend we had one of the most amazing meals evah! Home-made sausage pizza, with an amazing salad...topped off with Cookie Dough and Pistachio GELATO. Heaven.
- I'm officially in love with the Dark Cherry Mocha's from Starbucks. The other day I heard a girl order a "Dark Cherry White Mocha"...ohhhhh, even for this girl, THAT sounded good.
- Yes, I did just talk about coffee in two different bullets. Yes, make that three. And yes, I am an addict, but if you've followed by blog for a while, you already knew that...

you are adorable. i've wondered about that dark cherry mocha... it does sound mighty good! your pictures are amazing. you are so talented. the gelato sounds incredible. hope this week is busyless! happy monday.
I too am in love with the new coffee -- I hope it's hear to stay!!!
Hopefully this week will be a little less stressful for you.
Dark cherry mocha's are heaven in a starbucks cup!!! I was a little hesitant about trying it, but man on man I'm so glad I did!
I hope your stress levels go down...but keep drinking the coffee if that makes you feel good!! :)
it's monday afternoon and all your yummy food/coffee talk is making me hungry! your so mean! lol
ugh i hate when i misspell things. i meant to say *you're so mean :)
I'm so jealous that it's nice enough where you are for that tree to look so beautiful! Things are just now starting to look slightly green around here!
I caved and tried the Dark Cherry Mocha! And I, too, am in love!
The cherry blossoms are beautiful!
the cherry shots are nothing if not beautiful.. wonderful job you did on them!
Beautiful photo as always, Heather!
Actually, I do believe that is a Tulip Tree. I can see why you might think it was a cherry tree, but cherry trees usually bloom later in the year...and I know that the Tulip Trees all around where I live are starting to blossom beautifully like that! Where the blossoms fairly large or on their way to being so? e.g. more than 2 or 2 1/2 inches? Tulip Tree blossoms are much larger than cherry tree blossoms.
Guess I just nerded out. haha But I really, REALLY like trees and that kind of tree happens to be a fave of mine as well as simply FASCINATING and I want one for my own yard someday SO badly!!! ;)
Have a GREAT day!

Oh, by the way, keep in mind that I was TOLD that those are Tulip Trees . . . .I haven't researched them myself but I thought they were and they are gorgeous, either way. If I'm wrong, I wanted a disclaimer. LOL :-D
Miss Tea :)
My coffee is strong and proud today - I hear you sister!
I stand corrected! From all I read/all the photos and descriptions I can find on the WWW, this is actually a type of MAGNOLIA tree!! It's called the Mulan Magnolia. And it's so lovely!! Just wanted to share my new-found knowledge! It looks identical to that type of tree! :)
Miss Tea (at the moment, Miss TREE)
I totally feel you. Last week seems like hell and I have no idea where the time went. As for the Dark Cherry Mochas, I work at Starbucks and it is a total woman drink, ha! Whenever I tell a woman to sample it, I say "you're a woman, you'll love it." Mmmmmm
Beautiful picture! And that meal sounds right up my alley, while I'll pass on the exercise. ;-)
I havent left a comment in a while:(.......You are adorable! Your pictures are amazing!!!I HAVE to try that new coffee! Infact on the way to run errands, im getting me some! Ive been wondering about it.....now im going to try it!!!!hope your stress levels go down!!
I am right with you on the coffee. In fact, it is what gets me going to the gym - and the studies say, a little coffee before a workout will actually help boost your benefits. That - and Pandora on my blackberry while I run.
I often say "My life, brought to you by The Dunk."
Best,

Glad you are doing well hun and time does seem to fly! Hopefully it is a bit slower for you this week to enjoy and relax. Beautiful photo as always!
Coffee always makes everything better! :) That is a gorgeous picture too.
I want to try the Dark Cherry Mocha so bad! It sucks because I gave up coffee for lent! I hope they still have this drink by Easter. :)
Keep up the great work! girl I love hearing about progress and achievement!!
Gelato...why you gotta bring that up when all I have is ice cream? :)
Horay for lots of coffee! Great pictures! I got a camera for Christmas and have no idea how to really use it! lol oh well i'll learn...
You are so a girl after my own heart talking about coffee twice in one post! Story of my life! I can't wait until Easter to get my hands on one of those Mocha's! Glad to hear your exercising is going well! Keep it up! xoe
This is the 3rd time I'm hearing of this magical black cherry and I still haven't gotten one! Maybe tomorrow.

Dark cherry mocha's are amazing! But a white cherry mocha does sound good, I'm very tempted to find out if my local Starbucks will make me one. Hope things calm down for you this week :D
Way to go on keeping up with your projects and working out! :)

I adore your photography. Beautiful!
Paris is one of my favorite cities. One of my favorite trips, my husband surprised me for my birthday with a long weekend in Paris. I can't wait to take our son. Magical!

I seriously need to try Dark Cherry Mocha next time I am in Starbucks.
The cherry blossom make me so happy....I can't wait till they bloom here. My backyard is connected to my neighbor acres full of cherry trees.
the picture with the blooming magnolia is fantastic!
I can feel your happiness and love from each of your word.
I wish you all the best in every side of your life.
