Days 15 and 16: Calm before the storm, and a taste of what is to come

Cold drizzle called us back to the reality that it is still only barely spring here. Still, it's clear that winter's last hurrah can't be far away.

Yesterday we had a day of total calm. No tradespeople in the house, nothing arriving or leaving. It was nice having an extended weekend of relative tranquility.

Today, we got a glimpse of the kitchen that will be, as the appliances arrived this morning and now sit in what will be the dining area like patient troops awaiting their marching orders:

Tomorrow reinforcements arrive in the form of cabinets; leadership will be provided by the cabinet installers, who will begin the final stages of making this all come together.

Excited? Me? Nah . . . .
