In English, here can function as a pronoun, an adverb, and in some dialects as an adjective. It is a deictic expression involving deixis of space - that is to say, its referent is dependent on the location in which it is uttered.
It comes from Old English hēr, in which language it finds use in the meaning "at this time" as well as the meaning "in this place". It is, as such, cognate with Latin cis, "on this side of".
One can contrast here with there, which is "somewhere else", with anywhere, which theoretically includes both "here" and all possible "theres", and with nowhere, which excludes both here and there.
Hereabouts extends the boundaries of here fuzzily.
This button fairy now resides in Melbourne, Florida!
UPDATE 01/19/08 -- Sadly, this fairy didn't find her way to Melbourne. Maybe the postal service kidnapped her and she's hanging on someone's desk????? I don't know, but I am going to make a replacement and send it out to my partner. I hope the 2nd one will make it.

I had to make these as a custom order for a little girl's room... I just love the way these flowers look so modern and fresh!
The Eastern Tiger Yellow Swallowtail is a common summertime visitor to our yard. This one has lost a piece of a its tail wing tip, I so wanted to Photoshop it in, but decided that wouldn't be "honest." Swallowtails live for about two weeks and can get ragged looking pretty quickly.
Why would a button be bittersweet? Well, because my 16-year old daughter, Anna, can't work buttons. Sometimes the things I take for granted hit me in the gut. I'm pretty far down this path of mothering a child with special needs, but there are still milestones that sting. It can be something simple like knowing other girls her age are wearing makeup (Anna has no interest) or dating (Anna desperately wants a boyfriend) to the bigger things like getting a driver's license (that won't ever happen) or going to junior prom (Anna should be in 11th grade this year but we had her repeat kindergarten). I remind myself of the progress she's making and that she is on her own timeline, but when I saw this week's theme... "Buttons and Bows"... I got a pang. She can't work a button, she doesn't have the fine motor control, so for me, the button is bittersweet.

I've always liked long skirts with button up fronts. This is the only one I have at the moment that actually has functioning buttons rather than just buttons for decorative purposes.
Has anyone seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Is it just me, or was that film an awesome one?! Great story line...! And if you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to do so! Soon!
Anyway. I took this picture, in Hong Kong, on my P&S camera, didn't turn out too bad, despite it being in an awfully lit place, and I was a little rushed. But it was actually a nice wall mural of buttons... all glued to the wall.... certain sections with different colours. If I had more time, I would've taken shed loads, but my cousin and auntie were waiting for me.
