Good times



If anyone would have told me as a teenager that one day I would love the sight of laundry hanging on the line, I would have told them that clearly they were mistaken. Why would I ever spend time thinking about such things??? But I do. While I try and hang some laundry out in the winter, for the most part it hangs on our bannister upstairs, on the shower rods and anywhere else it will fit. Today was the first day this year that it was hung outside and actually dried in one day. And it smells great in the house. Like fresh air. After a long season of closed up windows, of course I would look forward to spring, and one of the main harbingers I know of....laundry flapping in the breeze.
There you have it. It is out there. I love laundry hanging on the line.

    I love the sight of laundry on the line too...it's a sure sign of spring when your undies don't freeze solid when hung on the laundry line!

    I love putting laundry on the line, too! I have a bunch of blankets on the line right now (after a family bout with the flu), that have a little "cap" of snow on top. At least they will be sufficiently "degermed". :)

    I love the smell of freshly Sunshined clothes, we are going into Autumn here in New Zealand, so I will be putting the washing up inside soon on the drying rack by the fire, cheers Marie

    Hello, Miss Karen!!

    C'est moi - Lindsay from Bridgehead. I will of course see you tomorrow, no doubt. But wanted to say that I love your blog almost as much as I love sheets that come in from drying on a clothesline.

    SO GREAT!!

    :)

    ps. Maple or Regular? haha!

    I'm with you too, I had two days off work this week and the weather was perfect both days (a rarity in this autumn climate) for copious amounts of washing. I was beyond excited :)
