Counters!

Barring the electrical inspection, the plumbing inspection, the installation of drawer pulls, and the replacement of the refrigerator, we have a kitchen. We have a stocked kitchen: I spent most of the weekend finding homes for everything we had packed away long ago. I made dinner last night. We ate from plates. And then--bliss!--the dishes went into the dishwasher, which runs so quietly it's like the faint rumble of traffic in the street. And they emerged not just spotless, but sparkling. Spouse and I sounded like a detergent commercial, ooing and ahhing at the wine glasses.

What you can't see in that photo, perhaps you can see in this one:

I really like the yellow of the kitchen, and the gray-green in the sunroom. That's the lemon tree trying to get into the picture in the (now blessedly debris free) back yard.
