My Kitchen...as uncluttered as it gets, considering I have NO counter space
I'm posting this picture, not because I'm in love with my kitchen...more so that I'm not. It is actually a really big room, but poorly laid out. Anyway, I'm hoping that this will be the 'before' picture, and sometime soon, I'll be able to post an after shot. It really needs to be totally redesigned, but that is not in the budget, so it will more likely be a sprucing up. What I have in mind is some wainscoting on the island and fridge surround, also take the raised panels out of the cabinets and replace with flat panels or bead board (which I'm thinking would be too busy) and then paint them. Definately need new counter tops,and my first choice would be concrete, but butcher block is more economical, and I have no objection to it, because I am totally utilitarian at heart. Wood floors are a must, but may have to wait. And then there the question of lighting. I have some very cool lights, that I bought off of Craigslist, but they are not working as kitchen lighting. Anywho, hopefully putting it down in writing will help motivate me to motivate my husband...a carpenter by trade...and it's true what they say...I'll leave it at that.

1st trip this summer to the beach in Rhode Island....
By the time we got to the beach, it was 5:00, and a bit chilly.
No swimming on this trip :(
Fourth of July..
These were a few shots while getting ready for company. Unfortunately the battery in my camera died before the party started... and nope, I didn't have backup :(

Hyacinths, Lilac buds & Lupine
I'm so happy that my red lupine made it thru the winter! I have never had luck with lupine, so this is very exciting!
And my hyacinths under my lilac made babies! Yip Yip!

Ode to Riley
Mr.Riley is definitely Mama's boy. He spent his 1st seven years living alone with John, and he is SO happy to have a mama (me) and a girlfriend (Violet). He's 14 now, and has bone cancer, and its getting very hard for him to move around, but he greets me every night when I get home, with his stuffed mallard, and wants to play! He's a tough old coot!
He'll stand for hours, watching me while I make dinner, or do dishes, or whatever...he just loves his mama :)
Donovan's, South Norwalk, CT
Sure do miss this place for a bite & a beer.
They had the absolute BEST new england clam chowder!

Sweater for Hi-Way :)
I must say, I'm pretty proud of myself...this is a sweater I knitted for Waylon. I've never knitted anything before, so it feels really good to have completed this.
Now I'm working on one for little Hal
