around the house.

this is michael's new love; his new phillips stereo. he ordered this bookcase from target because we didn't have anything long enough for the stereo to rest on. he did his research and found the perfect bookcase that was tall enough to file his records in, wide enough for the stereo and the right stain to match our other wood furniture. i admit, i sometimes tease him for always taking a long time to decide things, but at least he's not an emotional buyer like me!


yesterday as i was reading on the front porch, i was surprised to find these cute blossom buds popping out all over my peach tree. the tree has been dormant looking since november and i didn't expect any blossoms until april. after talking with my grandma van corbach, who confirmed that they were peach blossoms, i googled them and found out we have a red baron peach tree which blooms early in warm climates. the picture doesn't do them a lot of justice, but they're a dark pink (almost red) color that contrasts beautifully against the greyish bark of the tree. i can't wait until july when the peaches are ready to pick!
