We've resisted a dishwasher for years. Somehow or other, the hand washing process is quite therapeutic. Besides, a dishwasher is just one more piece of kit that can go wrong.
We installed a dishwasher when we remodeled the avacado green kitchen. It is really a half sized one, a drawer fits under it. It has never been used. I prefer hand washing, most folks think I'm crazy, but I have never used a dish washer. My kitchen is open to the DR and LR, so I can still converse and be part of things. Now the clothes washer is another matter entirely.
I know exactly how you feel! I dare say that your poem has inspired me to switch to some lovely cobalt blue or other eye catching color! Seems to make washing dishes a pleasant experience:)
Dishwashing by hand is the only way for me, too. I think that the last time I lived in an apartment with a dishwashing machine might have been in the mid-1970's.
Vicki, your photos once again have shown beauty in unexpected places.
Over on Facebook Deana the Queena just posted something so appropriate to what I was feeling

How interesting that there are so many other non-dishwasher folks. Our kitchen simply doesn't have room for one and I never liked them anyway. We had a dishwasher when I was growing up and it always seemed that the dish I wanted was sitting in the dishwasher, waiting to be washed when there was a full load.
We have a farmhouse copper sink and it changes patterns and colors depending on what the food was that stayed on it for a bit. I call it my copper universe.

You and I must be one of the few who actually still wash dishes by hand. It doesn't look that interesting when I do it.

Beautiful poetry of hand washing good looking "china" not at all from China. Me too, hand wash daily!
I love washing dishes in hot soapy water
with sunlight pouring in the windows
nice dishes
I know just how ya feel! Only my plates are white, so I really get a glare going!

Lovely dish. Fiestaware. I have a whole set of the original. Use the cobalt platter all the time. We wash dishes by hand most of the time here too.
I love the beauty of simple things and simple moments. Thank you for capturing it.
I still wash dishes by hand and appreciate it. I agree you did make it look very interesting and amazing washing that plate!

A great reminder to be mindful when doing the most ordinary things.
