Yes, I know that I have answered questions very similar to these not so long ago, but I was tagged by one of my favorite bloggers - Ciara at Milkmoon!  

What is your current obsession: Photography - basically stalking my favorite photographers and then trying to see if Francis and I can create something fabulous.

What are you wearing now: my new knee-highs, khaki capris, a white long sleeve t, a brown short sleeved t, and an apron -  I am making dinner~

Who was the last person you hugged: Finn Henry (not unlike Ciara!) - my two year old angel.  

If you were a tree, what tree would you be: a katsura tree - they have pretty leaves, a gorgeous color in the autumn, and smell like cotton candy when their leaves change!

What's for dinner: Roast chicken, grilled asparagus, and rosemary roasted potatoes.

What was the last thing you bought: pastel colored m&ms for my candy jar for Easter

What are you listening to right now: Literally - the Goodnight Show on Sprout (Finn Henry's evening routine before dinner) - but as far as music is concerned, Rupa and the April Fishes - *LOVE* it

What is your favourite weather: I like when it is mixed a bit.  Lately it tends to rain at night (or snow sometimes) and then we see the sunshine during the day.  Then, the odd day of gray.  For me, a perfect mix of cozy winter and cheerful spring weather!

What is on your bedside table: Three cups of tea by Greg Mortenson, various Bon Appetite and Gourmet magazines, my project basket from Maya (wow, deja vu..  :)  )

What is your most challenging goal right now: to stay calm while raising a house full of boys

Say something to the person who tagged you: You have the mothering skills I aspire to!  I hope to meet you one day~

 If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished, where do you want it to be: I adore our home, but I really like a lot of land around a house.  And then there is the French countryside...

Favourite vacation spot: right about now I could definitely use a family trip to someplace warm and sunny!

Name the things you cannot live without: aside from my family, I have to say my technology

What would you like to have in your hands right now: a blank check to make a difference in the lives of people who are suffering in this economy.

What is your favourite tea flavour: I use green tea in my chai, and I really like green jasmine.

What would you like to get rid of: I am with Ciara on ignorance, but my second choice would be hunger.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go: if I only had an hour, in my current state of mind, I would go to Minnesota to see my daddy.

If you could have your portrait painted/made by any famous artist from any era, who would you choose: I am not great with artists - what about photographed?  I would love to spend an afternoon having Mishelle photograph me!
