Daffodils, Hyacinths and a Cow

I am so enjoying my primrose. I keep moving them around the kitchen. Now they're on the side chair getting a little sun. Not that they got too much of it. I had all the windows slung open this morning. By the time noon came along, it started getting really nippy!

We've had nice warm weather for the past couple of days. Then, wooosh, the cold air streamed back in. We even had a few snow flurries (which always make me giddy). Before it turned cold, I was out and about and saw our first three blooming daffodils.

Nothing cries spring more than daffodils. Three days of warmth and these babies are singing to the sun!

And, along side of them were some grape hyacinths in full bloom.

These three tiny rooster salt cellars were some I found when Beth and I were antiquing junking this past weekend. This may be my newly found "collection" mission. Wonder how many colors I can find?

Next to this little display is my French moo-cow creamer, just as I promised you. I love this thing! I've had it for a little while; but I love it as if it had been in the family for generations!

Yesterday and today, I once more had contractors coming into the kitchen and fixing what the idiots never could--or chose not to. I finally have my ice maker flush with the rest of the island. These guys had to literally remove the drywall behind it, chisel away at wooden beams and shimmy it to and fro to have it sit almost flush. The idiots never compensated for it to sit flush; so when they put the end cap wall in, they didn't pull the cabinets out the extra 1/2 inch needed. So the right side of the ice maker is flush, the left (which butts up against the cabinets) is not. C'est la vie. They also redid the grout behind the stove. The idiots used two different colors. Today was the first day that I am actually feeling that this kitchen is 99% done. The counter tops need to be removed and replaced because the Silestone is staining. Yes, Silestone is staining. Par for the course, I suppose. The counter top people have come in and sealed it. Yes, sealed Silestone. It's even worse. Where I clean it now leaves a dull spot. Ooooof. Me and my kitchen. Good news is, as you can see, I made more blueberry muffins this morning; and with the oven set 25˚ below what I normally use, they came out perfect! The workmen got two hot out of the oven, I got one. Now there's one for the kid, the teenager and the hub! Yes! I made enough batter for an entire six muffins! Movin' on up! Proud? I certainly am. I was feeling a tad deflated recently in there. I think I'll continue cooking my muffins for a bit before I graduate to the next level--say cakes? hehe.
