Installing the dishwasher

It was a banner day!  The temps got above freezing.  First time this month and first time in the last four weeks.  I do love the cold - it kills most invasives and  cold stratification is required by native seeds in order to successfully germinate later.  In the darkest part of the year though, who doesn't revel in a sunny day and (relatively) warm winds.  I watched w/ great satisfaction the remaining snow slide off the solar panels.  Then, the dishwasher  (I'd ordered it in September) finally arrived and was installed.   The appliance company is poor at supplying updates on when appliances would be arriving.  After a month of not hearing from them, I called and called again and again before I got anyone who would tell me what was going on w/ my order.  The day of install the company does a communication 360.  I got a text of when the truck was starting out, a map showing me where the truck was at any given time, which stop I would be (#8 for the day) and an approximate time they would arrive which was updated multiple time during the day.  These installers were pretty nice guys.   Finally, Friend Kathy and I did an impromptu Zoom meeting.  With all of the different events, activities, preparations, etc. going on this time of season it's relaxing to just be able to talk and laugh w/ a friend.
