Hello from kitchen remodel land! Thursday saw electrical work, part ii, and I think we have our ducks in a row for a re-inspection on Monday morning, followed by drywall, followed by countertops …. it’s feeling closer to useability, if not actual completion.
On with the Five:
Envy
Part II of The Outage
Beauty is of soft whisperings, she [...]

I’m starting to think I should pinch myself each morning because I cannot believe how fabulous the weather has been. Remember, I’m happiest in long sleeved tees and maybe a light cardigan. Your weather perfection may vary. Faced with yet another sunny day in the 70s on Monday, the birds were singing, and bunnies were hopping [...]
