Cookies

Yesterday afternoon I cleaned my kitchen. Usually, for one reason or another, there are always some dishes in the sink or baby things on the counter, but I cleared everything out and scrubbed. It felt great to have it clean, but the minute I sat down to enjoy the view I decided it needed to be messy again. So I baked. Yesterday I made a chocolate pie and this evening I mixed up some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. With floury counters my kitchen feels more homey. Why is that?
