The church in the tomato patch Wow!  Where does the time go?  It's the middle of May already.  Some musical projects pulled us away for a while (more about those on another day), but we're back, with some big plans for Plastiqueville.

Last weekend, my neighborhood became Yard Sale Heaven.  The much-anticipated Moore Township Community Yard Sale on Saturday (pictured above in 360 view) was only part of it.  Friday's sales produced a 60's vintage Grundig radio for Randy, (stereo, no less), a sauté pan (perfect for mushrooms) and a red Pyrex mixing bowl just like my mom used to have.  

But the absolutely best score of the whole weekend was $20 for a box full of little electric train buildings (probably HO scale).  We have now doubled Plastiqueville's real estate, with a car repair shop, a lumberyard, a factory, a second saloon, a couple of nice private residences, and two churches.  Churches in Plastiqueville now outnumber the bars (three versus two), so one of those churches might have to become a bookstore or something, in order to comply with zoning.  Oh, and I almost forgot - we now have a Howard Johnson's!  Ice cream, anyone?

The buildings were most likely built from kits, so they are in various states of completion, and they're hollow, so they can be lit.  I'll be looking into some small LEDs to do the job more subtly, but in the meantime, I buried an LED flashlight in my vegetable patch and placed the building on top.  Wait for the sun to go down - and enjoy the glow!
