Spring Laundry 03/21/2009
 

That's right..you got it! I just had to do it!! I realize that the high yesterday was a very warm and balmy 30 degrees outside...but it was very sunny...with a light breeze...OK, a very brisk wind....so I did it! I hung our bedding out on the line!

I had to wear my gloves and earmuffs to do it...and snow boots. Like I said, thinsulate is my friend...it's my buddy...my pal...we're tight...we go everywhere together! : D

But that poor clothesline has just looked so bare and lonely out there...so..without any purpose or meaning in life. And I do miss seeing my laundry flapping and flouncing around...dancing it's dance in the sunlight...

So how do you know when it's actually dry??..one might ask...and that's a very good question. Well, if when you take your pillowcase off the line, it won't bend in certain places as you try to fold it into the basket...and your shams appear to be starched stiff to within an inch of their lives...then you know it's still wet. I believe the optimum word would be frozen, actually.

Just give them a little more time...hopefully before the sun sets...and the temp's drop even more...and thinsulate becomes your even better friend!

Oh! But can I tell you how wonderful our beds felt last night..?? Can I even begin to describe the wispy fragrance of summertime that filled the entire bedroom..??? It was sheer heaven...sheer thoughts of leaves and green grass and wildflowers!!

Spring Laundry...how I love thee!! : D

The clothes look so fresh, and they DO smell wonderful---but I spent too any wash days growing up, doing that chore, of necessity to find it terribly appealing!! You've never seen stiff overalls till you've handled frozen ones! /the sky is so beautifully blue.

So you're finally seeing signs of it!! HOORAY!! i TOLD you it was there, hiding under the snow--on the spring gift packages we mailed to you! / I'm sure the animals (as well as the children) are loving the change of pace. But if you're all off ice skating, I guess it's not swimsuit time , just yet./ / Love the photos of all the young'uns. Have you lost some teeth, Heather? / We've just realized that while we get to see them---we've sent no pnotos so they can see US (and how WE'VE grown!!) Have made no prints in eons---but plan to begin choosing some shots to send on the free photo postage cards . So if you get some, dont thinks they're just advertising--& look for a little message on the back.
