It’s still a warm day,” said Daniel Huckaby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Dallas-Fort Worth. “We should have similar temperatures as Thursday and maybe even pushing toward 80 degrees.”The overnight lows won’t drop too much throughout the weekend.“Not at all,” Huckaby noted. “They’ll remain somewhere up in the 60s before dropping a little cooler for Sunday and Monday.”A storm front is forecasted to move into the area tonight and into Saturday morning.“Primarily after midnight and before sunrise,” Huckaby said. “Some time in that time frame.”Although temperatures may cool down with the thunderstorm moving into the air, it will remain what is considered normal for this time of year in Central Texas.“Somewhere up in the 60s,” Huckaby said.Sunday has a 70 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, with an expected high of 76 and a low of 52.The start of next week will have a high of 73 degrees and a 70 percent chance of showers before dropping to a low of 57 and a 50 percent of showers on Monday night. #inform-video-player-3 .inform-embed { margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; }... http://kdhnews.com/news/local/early-march-showers-may-bring-early-spring-flowers/article_dc6bce3e-4133-11e9-a308-2bd706f4efa0.html

Longtime Waco florist dies at 97 - KWTX

Reed was a young man when he began working in the family business where he started by potting plants at the greenhouse just off the old Dallas Highway (U.S. Highway 81). It was his father Bert Reed who was in charge of the growing operations so it was a natural for Reed to pick up the trade just following his father around at the greenhouses in what is now Lacy Lakeview. His mother was in charge at the flower shop and at times he worked there building arrangements or delivering orders. Reed’s, though perhaps not intentionally, ended up doing business in the perfect location for a flower shop; within four or five blocks of the six largest churches in town at the time and two blocks from the two major funeral homes. Plus, back then, all the business being done in Waco, pretty much, was being done between 12th Street and the Brazos river, so the shop was right in the middle of the best traffic in town. Reed said as a young man his main job was “whatever was necessary.” Times were hard and business was tough to find but the shop survived the stock market crash and the years afterwards during the Great Depression. “We just had to get through some pretty tough years.” Reed would say in an oral history interview compiled by the Baylor University Oral History Project in 1990, the same year both his parents died. Reed said times were tough on everybody and people either stopped buying flowers or many times couldn’t pay their bills when they came due. Reed’s always had flowers then, though, especially roses and marigolds because they grew them right down the road at their own greenhouses, and they were inexpensive. “We survived,” he said. The war years were slim, too, Reed remembered in his oral history, recalling the shop recycled 1-quart oil cans by decorating them and using them for vases in floral displays because glass was very hard to find. In fact, the business grew in the coming years and at one point had retail shops and greenhouses in Temple, Belton and Cameron, he said.Whatever was necessary is what Reed did after he graduated from La Vega High School, took flying lessons and eventually joined the Army Air Force where he learned to fly the B-29 Superfortress and later trained other Air Force pilots. ... https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Well-known-downtown-businessman-Harry-Reed-passes-away-at-97-505939331.html

7 Ways to Not Hate Valentine Day - D Magazine

M Street StudioAcrylic Petal Earrings, $68Tribe AliveFigure Tassel earrings, $68 OpalMilkCheval Noir earrings, $250Express Your EmotionsIf you’ve ever scored an invite to one of Dallas’ high-fashion luncheons, you’ve probably seen arrangements by Patricio Rivera of Twelve Thirty Four, a Honduran-born fashion designer turned florist extraordinaire. He spoke with us about the art of arranging, which he says is “all about emotion.”“I’d say focus on texture, focus on shape, and focus on colors. Like, I’ll take a picture of my vessel with my Pantone app and then that gives me a list of pairing colors to work from. Then I add my emotion to the design. But stay away from what’s expected. If you’re going to do a red rose, open it up to give it a different look. It’s called reflexing a rose. You let the roses sit for an hour outside water, then you pull the petals back one by one. For this arrangement, I used dahlias—my sister’s favorite flowers—and wheat.

A Pop-Up Shop at a Portland Florist Is Selling Cannabis Bouquets - The Portland Mercury

Southeast Hawthorne will be host to a "Cannabis Flower Bouquet Pop-Up." Among their usual flowers and greenery, these colorful collections contain extremely fresh and subtly fragrant Oregon sun-grown hemp flowers from East Fork Cultivars. Starflower will be selling "bud vases" that contain some gorgeous, CBD-dominant, very-low-THC, and terpene-rich cannabis flower (AKA craft hemp), along with non-cannabis flowers in the arrangement for $15, $20, and $25, with full bouquets from $50 to $100 upon request. These beauties got comments from my Lyft drivers to and from the Mercury offices to be photographed. They have a mild cannabis smell—not an overpowering skunk aroma, but one certainly indicative of their shared linage with its THC-heavy relative. The buds are vibrant and rich, and pair remarkably well with the other flowers. “We've wanted to create and sell cannabis flower bouquets for years," writes East Fork Cultivars' co-founder and president, Nathan Howard.

Bullard, ‘Top Chef’ finalist Doug Adams’ Texas-inspired Portland restaurant, opens Saturday - OregonLive.com

The whiskey is arranged behind the bar. The hearth fire is burning in the open kitchen. And the fictional flag of Bullard -- a custom cross between the flags of Texas and Oregon, complete with Texas longhorns pulling a covered wagon -- is hanging on the wall.As first reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive way back in September 2016, Bullard is meant to reflect both Adams’ Texas upbringing and his current Oregon home. In practice, that means carefully sourced meat, fish and produce, much of it treated with smoke or live fire, alongside veggie-forward Southern sides. In my head, I’ve been calling it “Tex-Oregana.” I’m not sure that will stick.The restaurant isn’t the only thing opening Saturday. Alongside Bullard, the Woodlark will debut in the historic Woodlark and Cornelius buildings on Southwest Alder Street. Next week, on the other side of the hotel, Quist and Adams will launch Abigail Hall, a handsome cocktail bar with hand-painted flowers on the walls and painstakingly recreated historical details throughout. In the lobby, the folks from Good Coffee will serve espresso and Texas-style smoked sausage kolaches baked each day at Bullard.Downtown's newest hotel combines two historic buildingsLeaning back on one of those booths, George Harrison and The Band playing softly through the restaurant’s speakers, Adams seems a little dazed and confused that his dream restaurant is actually about to open.“It’s so fortunate to get to do this, to have so many people help you with your dream, and then two years later it’s like, whoa, I didn’t know I had such awesome taste!" Adams laughs. "Sure, I didn’t get my stuffed grizzly bear…”“Next year,” Quist jokes. “At the one-year anniversary.” The fictional flag of Bullard, a blend of the Oregon and Texas flags, complete with Texas longhorns pulling a covered wagon.  Beth NakamuraAdams comes back to Earth once the topic turns to food.“It’s not really barbecue,” Adams says. “There are no plates of s... https://www.oregonlive.com/dining/2018/12/bullard-top-chef-finalist-doug-adams-texas-inspired-portland-restaurant-opens-saturday.html
