the remaking of a kitchen

another lovely day today, although they did mention the possibility of rain before it ends. i guess we can still use the moisture, we are down about an inch on average, but man the sunshine is so welcome!
i met friends for lunch in st paul today. i was nervous about finding the place, and for some reason assumed we were meeting at 11:30, so i found it easily and was the first arrival. fifteen minutes later i called one of the women, and she thought it was at noon....anyway, there were 5 of us and it was fun, and i had some time to ponder creative thoughts before they all arrived. we all laughed and told stories and i think this may turn into a monthly gathering. yea!
when i got home i wandered the garden wondering if there just might be a surprise bloom now that the snow is finally gone. i found these that i think are grape hyacinths coming up in the middle of some irish moss in the rock garden. very tiny and sweet, and a joy to see something blooming after the gray gray gray of this endless winter. :)
