Neighbors and Home

Chris installed our new dishwasher last Thursday night.  It is very quiet and actually gets all of food off the plates.  It's amazing having somethign that works so well, when you are used to such a crumby machine. 

I took the box the dishwasher came in over to my neighbor's house so they could use it for either a spaceship or a boat or something like that.  The kid's next door had their own idea, I saw this in the backyard yesterday morning:

They made it into their very own clubhouse.  I love the kid's next door!!

I also have been doing some work on my garden, and my peas have made a grand entrance into the world.
I also have spinach and kohlrabi planted right now.

I have the shingles set down so I can walk across them, and the straw is for mulching (weed control and compost).
